Simple Inkscape Scripting v5.1.0

[spakin]

This is a minor release of Simple Inkscape Scripting which provides a number of small improvements relative to the last major release:

• repr produces meaningful output for all Simple Inkscape Scripting objects.
• Even images specified by URL can be embedded in a document. Previously, only local files could be embedded.
• A new example, examples/pixels_to_rectangles.py, shows how to call the Python Imaging Library from within a Simple Inkscape Scripting script.
• The extension has been made compatible with Inkscape versions up to 1.5.
• Support is provided for using Simple Inkscape Scripting functions and classes in other extensions. See the new Derived Extensions wiki page.

There is also one very small breaking change:

• The second argument to shape-transformation methods rotate, scale, and skew is now called anchor instead of around.

Because the documentation has always referred to this argument as anchor, I'm considering the correction to the code a minor change rather than a major change.

See the Simple Inkscape Scripting commit log for details of all of the above.
