If the format happens to be able to do beziers but not elliptic arcs, I
have some code that can help in the gnome-print renderer. It gives near
perfect results (that is, if there is a line connected somewhere on the
arc edge, it looks correct when printed).
Maybe it would be worth having some of these routines for decomposing
some drawing primitives to other primitives in lib/.

I found out that the dia-0.88.tar.gz tarball I released also has some
translation problems. Stupid gettext-0.10.36 installed all the
translations under the filename dia@INSTOBJEXT@. I will do a dia-0.88.1
release that will be identical to 0.88 except that it will include
gettext-0.10.35.
