Have a look at plug-ins/svg/render_svg.c for the output
               plug-ins/svg/svg-import.c for one way of loading SVG
               objects/custom/shape_info.c for another
                        (in particular, the function parse_svg_node() )

http://faemalia.org/wiki/view/Technical/VirtualConnectionPoints and then
of course an implementation to do...
