Well, using lib rsvg if present is the upstream default and I would rather not
deviate from that.

I've been thinking some more about this, and the problem isn't that ImageMagick
requires an svg lib, but that the svg lib requires things like gtk ??

So I'm going to blame librsvg2, and combined with you not caring much anymore
I'm going to close this bug.
