 The last upstream release was in 2005, though and it's still only
 under snapshots/, so it seems quite dead upstream. OOo will in the

libsvg is dead upstream and not supported, not under development.
I talked to Carl today and he was surprised OOo was using it.

librsvg is something that is supported, maybe you can get them to use that..
Otherwise, you become the maintainer of libsvg :)

Do you really mean parsing? Since SVG is an XML dialect, any libxml
library would be fine for simply parsing it.
rendering on the other hand is the hard part with SVG.
Or you could use processing for parsing and rendering combined.

Yes. From upstreams README:

libsvg - a library for SVG files

Description

libsvg provides a parser for SVG content in files or buffers.
[...]

It does use libxml2 (or - choosable - expat), though.

Gr��e/Regards,
