I guess I could generate a list of objects from the source files using some
sed/awk wizardry, but unfortunately I'm not that good at it so I'll
postpone this until it eventually seems unavoidable.
I have, though, renamed the whole extra/ folder and tried to open the patch
once again. Minutes and minutes of 100% CPU (alternating between cores)
without an ending, that is the result. It seems to me I just have too many
objects for the current SVG implementation.
