If this is implemented and the .lyx files contains an included .svg as a
graphic, then it would also be converted to a bitmap for the PDF output,
right? Personally (meaning for my own use of LyX), I would prefer an
error instead of my vector graphic being converted silently to a bitmap.
But I realize (1) I'm not a typical LyX user and (2) including a .svg
file is not as common as a .eps or .pdf file (which I understand do not
need to be converted so are left as vectors?); and finally (3), I don't
have a better proposal.

It actually amazes me how few people care about including bitmaps
graphics in their final meant-for-publication drafts. I wonder if I am
the only one that is annoyed when I am reading a PDF and see a bitmap
that should be a vector graphic.

Thanks for your work on this tricky issue, Stephan.
