    attached is a new version of dxf_input.py, which will draw the missing shape by representing it as two quadratic Beziers. The resulting shape is not precisely the same as the shape drawn by Voloview, which appears to be a perfect circle. However, it is noticeably better than the shape drawn by QCad 2.1.3.2, which is much too rectangular.
    I suspect that the difference in rendering is caused by the dxf Group Code 41, which is called Weight in the dxf documentation, and is not being used here. However, I do not know how to implement this particular group code within the context of a Bezier curve.
    I have also added the attributes width and height to the main svg tag, so that the page size will be A4. This was a partial response to comment 2 in Bug 657284.
