Comment 19 for bug 1235504

We could increase the tolerance for converting between elliptical arcs and bezier curves so that for "normal sized" ellipses exactly 4 nodes are generated as Alvin pointed out. Then only when the ellipse gets too big, additional nodes are inserted.
It's not that I don't want to change it, I just don't quite know how to do it best :) .
I attached a little patch that implements this behavior. Hardcoding the tolerances is probably not a good idea, though.
