This sounds like <https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19743>,  
which was just fixed yesterday in r35629.

I think you're right that those options have no effect on Windows.  
Would you mind filing a bug at bugs.webkit.org?

You should be able to disable these features by modifying WebCore/ 
WebCore.vcproj/WebCore.vcproj and WebCore/WebCore.vcproj/build- 
generated-files.sh. There might be some other places you have to  
change as well. Grepping for ENABLE_SVG and ENABLE_XSLT should show  
you the places you have to modify (those macros need to be set to 0 or  
undefined to disable SVG/XSLT support, respectively).
