Setup a plugin system for glyph renderers
-----------------------------------------

                 Key: GEOT-924
                 URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GEOT-924
             Project: GeoTools
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: core render
    Affects Versions: 2.1.1, 2.3
            Reporter: Andrea Aime
         Assigned To: Jesse Eichar
             Fix For: 2.3


The SVGGlyphRenderer works properly (at runtime) only when a lot of the batik 
jars are in the classpath.
Given that this is an extended functionality that not everybody may need, it 
would be better to host it
in its own optional module. 

This also means that we would need an SPI to locate it, as well as other future 
glyph renderer that users may need to use.
Jody Garnett also noticed that using an SPI may turn to be slow if not 
carefully implemented, so this requires
some though and some performance testing too (factory caching and the like I 
suppose)
