Unfortunately, I understand neither what "idempotent" mean nor what all 
these

#ifdef(View_POV_Include_Stack)
#debug "including colours_svg.inc\n"
#end

are good for ;-). Therefore I'm afraid I can't make my script any 
better, except for changing "rgb" to "srgb" (that's the only part I 
understand).

Well, on the other hand, there seem to be one more thing I understand: 
many colors in standard "colors.inc" seem to be named just like that 
would be in exported inc, and I'm too lazy to check them all for 
conflicts in case of importing both files. Perharps it would be better 
to change naming convention from color_name.title() (i.e., "blue" to 
"Blue") to, say, color_name.capitalize() (i.e., "blue" to "BLUE")? Or 
may be use prefixes, like "blue" to "svg_blue" or something?
