SVG to image

[Brian Milby]

I just did a little bit of comparison of the path before and after your
widget translated it.  The path data is quite a bit different (besides just
going to 6 decimal places).  Something about how the path is adjusted makes
it work better with the path compiler, but it does increase the compiled
image size.
