For Inkscape noobs (like me):
The extensions folder is
&
lt;program path
&
gt;/share/extensions
Shape to path conversion is via menu Path
&
gt; Object to Path. However, the points do not seem to always be in the correct order to render properly.
In fact the path points are often in the wrong order unless I draw the path using the "Draw bezier curves and straight lines" tool in "Create a sequence of straight lines" mode.
It also adds "linear_extrude(None)" to the exported SCAD file. which my version of OpenSCAD cannot parse.
Apart from a
ll this, it's great ;)

Instructions
put both files in your inkscape extension file.
Open inkscape, select a path, then go extensions>export>open scad
a dialog should pop up with the openscad code to c/p to openscad.
Notes:
1) Only works on paths, so convert to shapes to paths.
2) exports as straight segments, use the add nodes extension first to increase node count to simulate curves.
3) Its very much a WIP, too busy right now to do much with it, but feel free to hack
