libsvg - a library for SVG files

Description
-----------
libsvg provides a parser for SVG content in files or buffers.

Dependencies
------------
libsvg depends on libxml2, and should be easy to build on any
reasonable system.

Usage
-----
libsvg does not do any rendering, but instead provides a
function-based interface that can be used by various rendering
engines. See the declaration of svg_render_engine_t in svg.h.

It is anticipated that the primary uses of libsvg would be in small
libraries that connect the libsvg parser to a rendering engine. Those
libraries, in turn, would provide the capability to applications to
directly render SVG content from files or buffers.

Known uses
----------
At this time, the only known library using libsvg is libsvg-cairo which
uses the cairo graphics library. A port of librsvg, (using libart), to
use libsvg is expected.
