[kepler-dev] svg for my actor

[Chad Berkley]

Hi Chris,

Yeah, it's from the old system still.  this bug 
http://bugzilla.ecoinformatics.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3948 addresses this 
issue.  Hopefully I'll get started on that this week.  If not, probably 
next week.  Once the configuration systems are integrated and 
modularized, modules should be able to make the changes they need. 
Until then, we still have to edit those files in common.
