 The svg2pdf 'snapshot' being used is from 2005, and is no longer being
 developed.
 (see "out of date" banner on http://webcvs.cairographics.org/svg2pdf/)

 However, if you follow the link from that banner, there is a newer version
 from 2007, which was forked out of the cairo test suite.  This version is
 a very thin wrapper about librsvg, which is receiving ongoing maintenance
 from GNOME.  This is a larger dependency tree for svg2pdf, but it works on
 more modern SVG files.

 I will also contact the developer (cworth) to see if he will host a
 release package that can be downloaded instead of a git clone.
