Comment 9 for bug 293940

adding new version of dxf_input.py.
this has been committed to svn rev 20254
The following changes were made:
- some limited support for colors, Group Code 62
- support for multi-line output in MTEXT
- support for TEXT, identical to MTEXT
- support for automatic scaling based on $EXTMIN and $EXTMAX

comments :
- have not been able to reproduce the above crash, maybe it is unique to 0.46
- I do not know how to read the dimensions of the target svg file so I have assumed arbitrarily that it is an A4 page. The size of the source document can be obtained from $EXTMIN and $EXTMAX, if they exist. If they do not exist then just standard scaling from mm to px is done, as before.
- with these changes the file floorplans_test_inkscape_simple_test02.dxf renders reasonably well.
