Yeah, that's been my approach so far. But img4dat requires its share of post-processing as well, especially for shapes that ought to be geometrically regular. For example, img4dat can put points in a line, but you can't force that line to be orthogonal. But hopefully someday the SVG import feature will become available. :-)

Biggest trouble I'm having now is how to straighten the paths in the first place. Inkscape can take a rectangular path and distort it into a non-rectangular perspective quads, but there doesn't seem to be any way to do the reverse.
