Important SVG build configuration change
I've just checked in a build configuration change that affects how one builds with svg enabled. Previously the backend renderer always needed to be selected with --enable-svg-renderer-{gdiplus,libart,cairo}. Now the renderer defaults to reasonable values (gdiplus on win32, cairo everywhere else), and can be overridden with --enable-svg-renderer={gdiplus,libart,cairo} (note "=" instead of "-"). In most cases the only option you will need to build with native svg support is --enable-svg.
Cairo has been checked into the tree and should build when that renderer is used.
If you see errors building svg with these changes, please file a build config bug against me.

thanx! The landing of the in-tree cairo together with this change is a great step forward for the mozilla SVG project!
ps: I will do a test build next week on Solaris (I'll let you know if any problems arise)
