Hi Roberto,

looks like I'm the only one looking at this. Briefly: it looks
interesting, but with a strange package layout (top-level "app"?),
without docs and a solid testsuite I have trouble to give it even
a try.

This reminds me of a package named "svglib" which you might want
to google for. During the last weeks several people told me that
I should update and put it under a more "conventional" license.
So I've added this on my todo list, together with including the
pretty solid W3C testsuite for the first time.

So, stay tuned! ;-)

PS: Looks like the Starship Python site hosting the page is down
right now, so I'll post a link to it here, as soon as it works
again... Sorry for that.
