Hi,

First, thanks for the hint. :)

But using this API still makes cairo output image data inline into SVG
file.  Although reasonable, it's not what I want.  I need it to put
mere URI link to the originating file, like this:

<image xlink:href="filename.jpg" width=... height=... />

This way I can edit photo image in the JPEG file afterwards w/o the
need to regenerate SVG file.
