Indeed, I just lifted the command line utilities from the ubuntu package 
and added them on CVS head.  I made an ./configure option to disable 
building and install them.  Thorkild, if you have a patch to add a 
pdftosvg, send it to the list and I'll add it in.  Make sure to make the 
pdftosvg build conditional on the BUILD_CAIRO_OUTPUT option and check 
that the installed cairo actually has the svg surface.
