Description Ulrich Müller gentoo-dev

Treecleaners, please consider removing net-www/adobesvg as suggested by pva in gentoo-dev.

  - no longer needed since browsers have native SVG support
  - discontinued by upstream, see http://www.adobe.com/svg/eol.html
  - last version bump in 2005
  - binary package, x86 only
  - maintainer-needed

Package masked for removal, as discussed with darkside on #gentoo-dev.
