Thanks for the sleuthing, I have a commit ready.

One question, though: Do we want the two knobs for libsvg and poppler 
in this case, or a single x11 knob that enables dependencies on the two 
libraries?

Given your application, I would lean towards the latter, otherwise the 
unsuspecting package builder would have to figure out what exactly she 
has to disable for a non-x11 build.

Cheerio,
