no, and it would be a typical example of adding something to the engine
that's bigger than the engine itself which is definitely not on our
agenda (the leaner the meaner)
also, converting svg runtime and doing that each run is pretty
inefficient; the mkiv runtime conversion only converts (using inkscape)
when the file has changed and including a pdf file is pretty fast
(the same is true for png files: the pfd format supports png compression
which is not the same as embedding png so for some variants it's better
to convert beforehand so that inclusion is faster)
