I suggest you have a look at the recent CVS -- or at the very least, to
0.90, which is significantly different from 0.88.1. Looking at the code in
CVS plug-ins/xfig/xfig-import.c, it does seem to pass to ->create() a 
structure holding a number of points and an array thereof.

polyconn_add/remove_point() can probably do what you need (don't forget to
do something with the returned ObjectChange*)

Lars Clausen recently did a lot of stuff with the ZZ line orientations. I
strongly suggest you download CVS and check first whether your patch still
applies (both in the patch(1) sense and featurewise). 

Alex has stepped down from maintainership a while ago; the best place to
send patches is here. (it wouldn't be bad if patches against en_GB.po were
sent separately from feature patches)
