After attempting to use sk1 for a few minutes, I've given up on it.
It crashes regularly. Exporting to a .eps file just plain doesn't work
(it writes 'sk1' format data to the file).
The user interface is full of breakage: if you export a drawing and
then do a 'save', it overwrites the _exported_ file rather than saving
in the original drawing file.
It also spews a constant stream of errors and tracebacks when doing
anything at all.
