Bug Description
inkscape presently (svn trunk) uses libpopt to process command-line flags. Most gnome-based packages have switched to using GOption (part of glib since version 2.6) for this task. Any thoughts about migrating inkscape to GOption? It would eliminate an external dependency (one that many/most users no longer "have installed anyway for some other package") and provide a more uniform user experience (help-screen, etc.).

I would like to volunteer for that one. While I'm new to Glib programming, the project is well-defined in scope and requires learning only a small part of both Glib and Inkscape.
