I don't know much about SVG, but why would any external program need to rasterize an SVG image. I thought that the whole point of SVG was that it could be scaled very easily and not lose any detail.

Does MediaWiki 1.7.0 automatically support SVGs???
Since I resort to shouting RTFM when I want to be a total asshole, allow me to kindly point you to http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:%24wgSVGConverter.
MediaWiki supports SVG images in as far as you can allow them to be uploaded, and specify an application to use to rasterise them to PNG images; similar to how it can interact with ImageMagick or another converter, to scale images server-side.
