I'd love to see SDL_svg get off the ground, so we could be a good 'push' for
its further development! >:^)

Yeah. :^(

Well, we wouldn't need 'real-time' resizing, unless the user is constantly
resizing their game window. ;^)  It would just render the SVG into a normal
SDL surface in the correct size and proportions for the window.

(e.g., number of tile rows/columns on the screen would always be the same,
but the SVGs would render into 32x32, 40x40, 64x64, etc., depending on the
size of the window, or screen resolution (if full-screen)) :^)
