I'll try to cook up a patch for librsvg once the external loader support
is in gtk. Since I don't know much about WMF and EMF, I'll gladly leave
those to you. You can contact me for any gdk-pixbuf loader related
issues...

Some listing interface might be a good idea. Don't know if mime-types
should come into this, but at least a way to obtain the names of the
supported modules for import/animation import/export would be nice.

I think we're also missing a way to obtain the name of the loader module
for the currently loading image.
