Customisable flowchart appearance

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Flowchart appearance should be developer customisable (via a parameter file?)

It would also be helpful to indicate which files are output from each task 
beneath each task in the flowchart.  

Currently I pull the flowchart into Inkscape to do manual annotation with 
output filenames.

Perhaps the hypothetical parameter file described in the initial issue could 
contain a function to manipulate filenames for customizing output (e.g., lambda 
x: os.path.basename(x)).

Like issue 28, this might or might not be easily do-able. 

The constraint is that Ruffus currently uses graphviz/dot to produce flowchart 
output (but see issue 32 from A. Heger). So we are limited by what dot will 
produce.

Playing around, it seems I can fake file lists if there are not too many files. 
Would this be what you mean?
(See attached svg file)

I guess by default it would be input/output, but you can supply a lambda to do 
something with them.

The alternatives would be
1) post-process svg files (which would definitely be needed for issue 28) or
2) write a completely new (multi-format) flowchart generator.... :-)

The example looks great.  Is this in SVN?
