Sorry, for spamming this list once more.

After finishing my degree i had a bit time again to work on karbon. In
these screen-stots
http://www.kudling.de/kde/karbon1.png
http://www.kudling.de/kde/karbon2.png
you can see proof-of-concept-implementation (meaning: it works but
isn't optimized at all) of 2 (out of hundrets of) issues which i don't
like about KIllustrator:
a) dont scale handels while zooming
b) ellipses and rectangles and stars and any-shape-you-can-think-of... are
just paths and not special in any way.

I think now it's the right time (before i start to implement a gui and 
all these nasty algorithms) to think about this:
should we merge karbon and killustrator or should we go seperate ways?
The core-question is: "is KIllustrator meant to be a basic vector app or
an app with advanced features which i _need_?"

I would be more than happy to put my energy into KIllustrator, but i won't
if certain dogmas/implementation are not wished to be changed.

Cheers
Lenny
