[webkit-dev] Proposal: Remove ENABLE(SVG)

[Philip Rogers]

This will make hacking on WebKit much easier. For better or worse, SVG is
tightly coupled with the rest of rendering/. We recently measured SVG usage
on the web and found 10% of all pageviews contain SVG.

Do you plan to remove ENABLE(SVG_FONTS) as well?
