+ Note the libsvg and libsvg-cairo releases available from
+ https://www.cairographics.org/snapshots/ appear to be unmaintained stale
+ abandonware at this point. The svg2swf project has been maintaining forks
+ of libsvg and libsvg-cairo and they seem to work much better in terms of
+ rendering correctness with unprepared svg files, you may find them here:

+ git://git.code.sf.net/p/svg2swf/libsvg-cairo
+ git://git.code.sf.net/p/svg2swf/libsvg
+
+ Note that the svg2swf fork has changed the pkgconfig name to libsvg-cairo-0.6
+ so if you use that, you'll have to s/libsvg-cairo/libsvg-ciaro-0.6/ in
+ configure.ac and rerun the bootstrap.
+
+ By default librsvg is used when available, but libsvg-cairo has fewer
+ dependencies making it much easier to cross-compile with for windows.
