The current dependencies require pdf2svg. Unfortunately the maintenance of this software has stopped several years ago (latest Windows version is from 2015). The functionality can be completely replaced by dvisvgm which is also included in TeXLive and therefore reduces the number of dependencies.

The command line syntax is a bit different and the unittests would require updating. Would you be happy with a pull request in this direction?

I think so.

It would make sense as something like --svg-program. I'd want pdf2svg as the default though given that I couldn't manage to get dvisvgm to work quickly (15 minutes) on my OSX laptop with MacTeX (no bundled libgs, maybe?).

Plus, it may help with Issue 12 if it supports identifier mangling.
