I d like to do an importer for eps from inkscape.
What it need to do is open the eps file as text. Search and replace strings. Record a temp eps import throught the eps plugin then delete the temp eps. Then flip (mirror) the resulting curve along Y.
there is also some math or some bounding box operation to do, so as to modify the points coordinates but it s not a priority.

I will if i would be able to. I have been working on finding why it did not work for a day or two and was expecting that some people, who know mel, would help me so as to share the solution throught a mel script.
A kind of collaborative work...
