Now that mac has switched to cairo-cocoa as the default toolkit (bug
323934), I'm going to be landing my patch that starts the process of
switching SVG over to thebes (bug 354866). This will be a hard
dependency, instead of the current choice of using using cairo directly
or grabbing a cairo context from thebes.

If you build with non-default toolkit or on a non tier-1 platform you'll
need to disable SVG in your mozconfig.

Original warning for this change was in early October:

Due to tree closure for the cycle collector landing and issues with the
nquartz cairo backend, this landing has been delayed. Likely I'll try
landing it on Monday (11/27) when people are around that kick
tinderboxes if required.
