04:30: OMFG a TURTLE!

I got over the initial hurdles of learning Cairo and figuring out basically how I should structure my code to work with it, and now I've got about half of the VisualID `generators' working: radial, spiral, line, figure, and scribble; I'm still working on the `along a path', `around a shape', `relaxed inside', and `symmetry' generators. Oh--Pam has also asked that I add a `butterfly' generator, but I wonder if some butterflies might just fall out of the existing shape-grammar. On a test-run, I was pleasantly surprised to find that the randomly-generated icon for one of my files was... a turtle?

(Sorry you can't see the turtle--you can try downloading the SVG file)
