[Cuis-dev] Updates to VectorGraphics and VectorEnginePlugin

[Gerald Klix]

I tried the latest Cog revision.
64-bit works, 32-bit gives the following error
message when reading the an image:
"Image file read problem (0 out of 4 bytes read).

I also tried Marcel Taumel's action branch to no avail.

So still no 32bit windows vm.


Best Regards,

Gerald
