in most parts already doable in Inkscape 0.47: if the selection tool is in rotate mode (rotation center visible), that center becomes the axis of flipping; otherwise it flips around geometric center of selection

- mirroring horizontally or vertically at axis through the (freely movable and snapable) rotation center
- mirroring through a point: drag the rotation point and use both flip commands ('h', then 'v').

@arve - just mirror a clone not a copy (group the original before cloning and then you are able to add and edit further objects inside the group that will be mirrored 'live')! For more complex symmetries you can use the 'Tiled Clones…' dialog.
