Attached is a patch which introduces a new mime type "text/x-uri"[1]
and uses this data in the SVG backend to replace image data with just
a link[2] to the file.

Attention paid to special characters which may occur in the mime data,
like ampersand and double quote.

Is this looking good enough now? :)

[1] To my knowledge this is the most appropriate type for the task.
[2] Filename, URI, whatever.
