+Both spsvgview and sodipodi are mostly built from a set of common
+libraries (these are static of course, to save people from
+versioning pain, but can in theory function as dynamic libs
+as well).
+The shared dynamic SVG GUI is built from:
+* libarikkei, libnr, libnrtype - lowlevel helper code
+* libspxml - xml backbone
+* libspsvg - svg parsing helpers
+* libspdisplay - GUI-independent renderer
+* libsodipodi - dynamic SVG document
+Sodipodi and spsvgview attach SVG document to different
+widgets (SPDesktop and SPSVGView), plus sodipodi adds
+extra controller parts (event contexts, selections, dialogs).
+The separation is still not 100%, but quite close, and should
+be easy to complete, if needed.
