18 GTK itself doesn't *really* need it. You'll just get warnings (and no
19 image) if it tries to render an SVG for some reason. ffmpeg and
20 imagemagick only need it to convert SVGs, which you can do with
21 inkscape instead. I'm not sure about djvu but I'd guess it's the same.

23 GIMP is annoying. It doesn't actually need librsvg for anything but
24 importing SVGs, and it used to be completely optional. The maintainers
25 have removed the option however, and don't want to put it back. In
26 theory it would be trivial to patch out (their words), but I haven't
27 bothered to try it.
