From Jeremy Moles, "Somehow, the SVG reader plugin has gone all this time without actually

being able to accurately provide the cool stuff that SVG is good for. :)
There is a one-line bug on line 68 in the
src/osgPlugins/svg/ReaderWriterSVG.cpp file where you can set the width
in the Options string, but not the height."
