This thread kind of diverged into discussion of other things,
but thanks in large part to Dan Sebald there is now an
Export to File  widget on the wxt terminal toolbar.
It supports output to png, pdf, or svg.

I added it to cvs for 5.1 but I'd like to hear whether it does or
doesn't work on Windows and OSX before deciding whether to
include it in the 5.0 release.

I'm also curious how widespread the wxt support for svg
output is.  If your local cairo installation doesn't support it
then you should get an error message.

The qt terminal already has such a widget.
