Ugly error message if svg delegate fail

[broucaries]

If we do not install svg delegate, it result on a ugly error dumping the whole svg file.

Could we get better errors in this case.

We don't consider this a bug but a wishlist item, making it less of a priority. We will attend to the problem but currently do not have an ETA.

If ImageMagick is built with support for the libXML2 or libRSVG delegate libraries, SVG will render as expected. Without either of these, ImageMagick reverts to a delegate program, the command-line program rsvg as defined in delegates.xml. If that delegate is missing, you get the "delegate failed" exception. The message seems reasonable to us. The delegate fails, the user looks for rsvg and it can't be found-- solution, install the RPM that supports the rsvg command line and conversion from SVG to another format succeeds.
