SVG images

[Ville Voipio <ville.voipio@kpatents.com>]

I would need to embed some SVG images into a ConTeXt document. I have 
done some research on the topic, and the seemingly trivial task seems 
all but impossible.

I found a few solutions, but none of them fits my needs:

- I want to have my vector images in vector format (i.e., no 
Inkscape-to-PNG)

- alpha-channel transparency is used in the images, and it should be 
present in the PDF file, as well (i.e., no Inkscape-to-EPS)

- if I used commercial products, I would not use SVG (i.e., the 
converter should be open source)


The images have been (will be) created with Inkscape. While being 
otherwise a surprisingly nice piece of software, Inkscape does not seem 
to export PDF for some reason or another (licencing, time, etc.).

I have the impression I just ran out of luck. Did I?
