Wonky revTools on Linux

[Bill Marriott]

We use the Windows version of Xara Xtreme for probably half of our marketing 
production. It's a lot of fun, an easy UI, and quite a bit faster than 
Inkscape on Linux. It has capabilities that rival or exceed Illustrator (and 
is also an order of magnitude faster). And the full commercial version for 
Windows is just $89. I use it for a lot of my UI work and highly recommend 
it.
