Cairo should be able to help there.

Yes. Use cairo_svg_surface_create, (which exists as of cairo >=
1.2.0).

That's going to be up to you to parse, and then call into cairo,
(cairo_move_to, cairo_line_to, cairo_stroke, etc.)

It should work fine, (and please let us know if it doesn't). Just grab
the latest tar file from here:

	http://cairographics.org/releases

Un-tar that ("tar xzf cairo-1.2.6.tar.gz" for example), the follow the
instructions that will appear in cairo-1.2.6/INSTALL.

And please let us know if anything is unclear so that we can improve
the clarity of the documentation.

And please have fun with cairo!

Please note that the intended addressee is a public mailing list which
has permanent, public archives. If that's a problem, please don't send
future messages to the public list. Otherwise, please ask your
administrators to remove the disclaimer suggesting you shouldn't be
sending messages to such publicly archived lists. Thanks.
