Status and building librsvg without gdk-pixbuf

The librsvg homepage http://librsvg.sourceforge.net/ seems to be very
unmaintained since a few years.

For instance, the News section is out of date.

Also, it says:
    "It is lightweight and portable, requiring only libxml and libart
at a minimum"

But it seems libart is not used anymore, replaced with cairo I guess.

Also, there seems to be a hard dependency on gdk-pixbuf, or gtk before
gdk-pixbuf was separated.

I'm building a system that generates PDF server side, and publish to
web. For this we use Cairo's PDFSurface, and I thought it would be a
good idea to use librsvg to include SVGs. We don't need Cairo's X
surfaces, nor do we need pixbufs.

So three questions:

It there more updated information somewhere else?

Is is possible to build without gtk and gdk-pixbuf?

Should I be using some other library instead of librsvg?


Thanks,
Oskar
