As I said in another mail I merged the branch to _unstable now, while
doing that I also ported my svg2png to RenderSVG. As you can see it's
not any kind of extra option, but a shell around the existing
rasterizers.

I had a look and couldn't find any calls to ::svg2png, if it's not in
use any more is there a reason to keep it lying around? RenderSVG is
_so_ much cleaner anyway, the old area cutout code was just horrible
to figure out.
