[Clipart] [Fwd: Tech Icons]

[tom whiteley]

Python script ok?

Usage:
python sygbinstrip.py inputfile > outputfile

It just removes all <image> type tags from a file and print the result
to stdout.

I'm not that familar with the internals of svg so hope this is the
right way to do it.

There is a slight flaw that it removes all newlines as there seems to
be a bug in multi-line regex matching my version of python, but the
output is still valid svg.

Tom.
