[rhg-discussion] Rakefile tweak (inkscape path)

Hi all,

For humble Mac users (and, I suppose, Windows users, but that  
introduces a whole slew of other problems), Inkscape may well be  
installed, but it's not going to be in the PATH. There are two ways  
to handle this: stick its location into ENV["PATH"], or allow the  
script to be explicitly informed of the path to this particular  
binary. This is a patch to do the latter, using an environment  
variable called INKSCAPE_PATH. Thanks to the magic of rake, this can  
also be supplied along with the args, like:

rake INKSCAPE_PATH=/Applications/Graphics/Inkscape.app/Contents/ 
Resources/bin

Anyway, it's convenient for me (and does seem to work)

Jim
