Lines format #19

EDIT: My bad I have mistakenly assumed that the new format is out already - I'll reopen this once it actually is :D

Alright, so it is expected that the lines format will change soon. Below I have documented the current quality of the SVG conversion. With the files that I've got at hand, some pen types are somewhat broken. First off - is that just for me or does it affect everybody? Anyways since the format is about to change I'd like to 'warn' everybody and maybe get some peoples interest in figuring out the new format once it goes live.

Results using the current conversion logic

Using the conversion logic based on the old file format this is the result (left is the true content, right is it parsed by the old format):

Two got their segments logic a tad weird and two are broken completely.

Lets figure out the new format!

As I am currently developing an application that makes use of parsing the lines format and this repository also contains a script that uses it to generate SVG files I'd like to make this a place for sharing information about the new lines format. Any help on figuring out the new format is greatly appreciated!
