    I toyed briefly with the idea of submitting a diff, until I realized that I can't because I don't have svn.
    However, in the meantime, I have removed the original versions of dxf_outlines.dxf and dxf_outlines.py and have replaced them with new versions.
   The new versions are significantly smaller and totally generic, with no references to any specific hardware devices.
    They are based on a dxf file generated by pstoedit, using AutoCAD Release 14 format. The template file was reduced in size by removing elements one-by-one until it became unreadable by Voloview. The new template file is 5231 bytes compared to the original 15860.
    Voloview is a more difficult reader to satisfy than DWG TrueView (see comments in file drvdxf.cpp, which is part of pstoedit), but DWG TrueView gives much better error messages, so both were used to test the final output.
    I believe this will be compatible with the previous submission, please let me know if it doesn't work.
