It's pretty simple, or at least I thought it was:

renderSVG:   RLG -> SVG
svglib (*):  SVG -> RLG

SVG 'pictures' would map to something in RLG, which so far does
exist only for PDF, i.e. the can be rendered again only in PDF
using renderPDF. After Robin's fix it should also work with
renderPM, but I haven't tested yet.
