 Hmmm ... that's funny because on my system I see something a little
 different. Maybe it's because I installed from binary, and didn't build
 from source. This is what I see:

 {{{

 }}}

 What I'd like to point out is that I think the gdk-pixbuf-2.0/.../loaders/
 directory is intended to contain pixbuf modules that are shared libraries
 (*.so) so that they can be dynamically loaded. This is particularly useful
 when new plugins are provided to extend functionality (just like librsvg).

 For reference, take a look at http://packages.debian.org/sid/amd64/libgdk-
 pixbuf2.0-0/filelist from Debian:

 {{{
 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-

 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-

 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-

 xpm.so
 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders
 }}}

 So what I suggest is that the only change that needs to be made is for
 librsvg to '''remove''' libpixbufloader-svg.a (ie don't put the archive
 library version .a in gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/, and only put the
 shared library version .so there).
