There is now a zip archive of the SVG symbols available on straight-streets.
Login and go to the Checkout, it's at the bottom of the page.

Or just grab it directly:

Garry spent some time exporting and checking them this afternoon and
as a result our conclusion is that they are *much* clearer than the
WMF versions. That could be the rendering program but we guess it is
largely down to the format. For me on gnome they look great as tiny
file thumbnails (in Nautilus) or when viewed full screen.

To update my previous statement, hand correction is only needed when
exporting to WMF.
