Ermm, we have ENABLE(SVG) blocks around all SVG related files. That  
was not a good example, as those platforms may just compile the SVG*  
files, they are just empty.
So no need to add any syntax for that. That applies to all other  
features as well - we _always_ compile all files, not depending on any  
setting.
