Didn't mean to suggest that we had to go with xpost, ghostscript is very much a
functional resource, xpost is appealing as an alternative, especially if it
could be built and bundled for all OSs. The project logo simply made a good EPS
example.

If filtering EPS to convert it to SVG--the dvisvgm utility does it in one step,
but has several dependencies as noted.

An alternative, and perhaps more appealing choice would be to use the
ghostscript provided tool "ps2pdf -dEPSCrop" command to take each EPS to PDF,
and then use a poppler and cairo wrapper to move from PDF to SVG (or other
format).

Dave Barton's pdf2svg is a poppler & cairo based wrapper to do that conversion.
I've used it a bit, and it is much cleaner than passing PDF (or EPS) through
inkscape.
