Default Windows Metafile (WMF) Import

The ability to import windows metafiles which could then be extruded into 3-D shapes would be fantastic.

Maybe someone could write a plugin to do this.

reading metafiles is really horrible. Not even the big Linux-Office applications have *good* import filters for this.
You would have to implement the complete Windows GDI functionality including anisotropic mapmodes and so on...
Maybe the polylines alone would help, but the it's better to import them into CorelDraw e.g. and export only the selected parts to a known fomrat (dxf e.g.)
