Yes, I have seen this. Jürgen did it this way because he had a problem with
the non-special case on Linux. Probably the same we have now on Mac: the
on-screen rendering of SVG is broken in case of having inkscape installed.

You mean to pass directory name for $$p and use it on all platforms for 
inkscape?
And don’t change the other converters so they all use relative path names
for both conversions?
