            Seems like a LOT of overhead there just for SVG support, esp.
    since parts of that duplicate functionality already made XP by AW
    itself.

            In other words, why can't we just use the SVG parser from
    librsvg (in conjunction with libxml2) to call upon our graphics &
    text classes, which have (or can be made to have) all the
    functionality of libart, freetype and Pango for our purposes.
