No, it's not a mandatory dependency, they've included the cairo code in the mozilla source. It works well, but there's not a lot of svg out there on the web.
As it happens, I'm involved in the development of an svg-based system. I would like to get my hands dirty on the deerpark versions of Firefox, but without throwing the working 1.0.5 version out the window. Does it sound like a good (=sufficient for complete isolation of new alpha-stuff) idea to use the BLFS-instructions with ... --prefix=/usr/something_unique ... --with-default-mozilla-five-home=/usr/lib/firefox-1.1 and then running it as another "test"-user? But what about this stuff with firefox being run the first time as root, to "set up files" or something? Will that create a mess for me? Any advice appreciated...
