I've checked in a few things that will make scripting better. The primary one being quick GUIs for scripts and other effects than don't have a GUI. This works by just taking the parameters and making them into a small dialog. While this isn't a good long term solution, much faster development can occur in the short term. Think of it as a place holder for more good stuff.

Most of this has been motivated by Aaron Spike who has put together a wonderful page on Inkscape scripting. I'm very excited to start using some of these tools. I think I need to implement a few more things to make him happy -- but it is very motivating to have someone using your work.

Hopefully, everything will come together for the next Inkscape release, but I'm not sure we'll have enough time.
