[java-gnome-hackers] Rendering SVGs

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

I merged my 'rsvg' branch to 'mainline', exposing preliminary coverage
of the librsvg SVG loader. Allows you to draw an SVG image to Cairo.
Neato - and more to the point, better than loading with gdk-pixbuf which
rasterizes the graphic first.

I've had this one kicking around for ages, but hopefully it'll pass
muster now.

If anyone can think of a better way to test it, I'd welcome comments;
see org.gnome.rsvg.ValidateVectorIllustrations's testHandleRendering()

Also, it doesn't seem like the call to Rsvg.init() is actually
necessary; I included it because the library documentation says it
should be there. Hm.

There's an example, see cairo.ExampleDrawingPenguins though it doesn't
do anything that special. You could fix that, heh.
