another RDF API use case: rdf2dot.py

Since cwm's support for the constrained dialect of RDF/XML supported
by rdf2dot.xsl* is bitrotting,  I worked on rdf2dot.py a bit today;
it actually works in a few cases now:

  http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/rdf2dot.py
  v 1.6 2006/12/18 21:57:03

It occurs to me that it shouldn't depend on swap particularly;
it just uses the basic load-a-graph-and-walk-thru-it stuff,
i.e. each() and any() and the like. This is the stuff
that I hope swap and rdflib will converge on soonish.

See also:

which cites toIcal.py, which is quite similar.
 http://www.w3.org/2000/10/swap/pim/toIcal.py

and cites this nice article on rdflib...
 XML.com: Building Metadata Applications with RDF [Feb. 12, 2003]
 http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/02/12/rdflib.html

I hope for a cwm tutorial chapter of that style.
