hmm... come to think of it, we cannot apply this right now even though svg loaders are duplicated.
That rsvg is used by image object, not vg object...

We need a choice to drop this image svg loader officially.

In that case it would be best to wait until 1.21 is out. At that point we can decide what to do with the image loader and do deeper surgery if needed. @Hermet, on IRC you said its fine to wait until 1.21 is out. I think that would be the best approach. We can have the patch sit here until then and updated if needed when we come to it.

rescued

shouldn't this be abandoned and rewritten for meson build system ?

I don't think it would be much work to update, the question is whether we should.

we have plenty of dependencies, so if we can remove some, that would simplify everybody's life
