Comment(by ejtttje@…):

 Hmm, this ticket is old, we should do something with it.

 If we were to drop this port, the rsvg-convert functionality of librsvg
 isn't as well known, so people might have trouble finding rsvg-convert on
 their own.  Also since librsvg doesn't directly provide a svg2pdf script,
 using 'replaced_by' isn't 100% appropriate.  So I prefer option (a), it
 will maintain syntactic compatibility with any scripts which are using
 svg2pdf, yet provide a maintained/modern svg implementation.

 I don't know Portfile syntax well enough to know how to make it install
 the script shown above.  Can it be stored directly in svg2pdf/files and
 then somehow referenced from the Portfile to install it?
