I just compiled the ghostpdl (version 9.00, but the 8.7x versions should
work as well) and tested the gsvg utility by converting tiger.svg to
PostScript. The result looks good, though the output is as of ghostscripts
pswrite device which is poor with respect to fonts; but the pdfwrite device
would be a suitable alternative.

It would be not too hard a task to build a wrapper around this utility
(maybe a Perl script for simplicity) to act as a svg image filter.

Any comments?
