Just a quick hack based on libsvg, but it's still rather neat, and it
shows off our DPS interface. libsvg, at least the version I have here,
has serious malloc issues and will happily crash the app when loading
some files. An "export MALLOC_CHECK_=1" before running it helps if
you're using glibc.

For decent results, it requires a capable backend, which in practice
means back-art. With one exception, it does run with back-xlib, and many
files render ok. The biggest problem is that stroked text is rendered
using the charpath operator, and -xlib throws an exception when it is
used. Is this really a good way of dealing with missing operators?
