* -devel package should "Requires: %{name} = %{version}-%{release}"
  not just "%name = %version". Headers and libs ought to stay in sync.

* The included libtool archive (.la) has dependencies on other libtool
   archives, so libsvg-cairo-devel must depend on other -devel packages
   which provide /usr/lib/libjpeg.la and /usr/lib/libfreetype.la
   This bears a big risk of breaking badly.

* Executable %doc files.
