State of the new SVG-stuff

[Vyacheslav Tokarev]

Hi, Andreas

First, thanks for your concern.

When I be at home, I will take a look at those files. But I can say already
that most of these functions shouldn't be used at all, or at least they will
never be called at runtime. I did that on purpose of not-changing shared SVG
code from WebCore as not all of the features are ported and supported by
khtml yet (I had to violate it sometimes though).

For kde4.2 I plan to add JavaScript bindings, maybe fix some style
properties like ViewBox, and most probably I won't have time to change SVG
Dom significantly. So we need to figure out the best way to compile it on
win32.

Again, in the evening from home, I could tell more on the subject.

Thanks,
Vyacheslav Tokarev (vtokarev)
