Going to a web page just to download an SVG and opening it in Inkscape gets old quickly. It tuns out that generating a Inkscape extension file is not really more complicated than generating a html form. As Inkscape passes the resulting values as command line parameters there was not much missing to make Boxes.py a (set of) Inkscape extensions.

A new "install" section in the docs gives hints on how to make things work it you don't just "setup.py install" everything in your (Linux) system. Good instructions for Windows are still wanted.

The box generators shop up in the Extensions menu under Boxes.py sorted into sub menus similar to the menu page of the web interface.

As the project gets more and more mature I should probably start doing releases and clean up the packaging, may be push it up to PyPi and the InkSpace gallery. More paper work ahead...
