So does the svg2pdf utility use cairo ? or does that use librsvg ?
In the bug report / wish list for that particular wish, it says that
<page> support

"I've just commited pageSet support to cairo SVG backend, based on Dom work. So
it would be nice to have support for this feature also in librsvg. "

So this to me implies that cairo can infact do this ? and if svg2pdf
uses cairo then i can build cairo from svn and continue to use svg2pdf
?
