Turn SVG_FOREIGN_OBJECT support back on in trunk for the Mac and Win builds (gtk already has it on)

I'm not quite sure why it's off.  So far as I know there is only one bug in Bugzilla about fO support (bug 16939).  I've not yet actually seen the bug in action (since I've not done a full rebuild with fO support on to confirm the bug).  fO support has been around for a long time, and I would consider it very stable.  That said, my impression of trunk/ is that it's generally "unstable", so features like this should be left on for proper bug fixing.

The goal of this bug is to either see SVG_FOREIGN_OBJECT turned back on, or an enumeration of the reasons why it should remain off.  If it is to remain off, I would like a description of what process we would undergo to get the flag turned back on.  (I'm happy to actually flip the flag in the build files myself).  Thanks!
