I finally released the maven1 SVG Plugin See http://www.mvdb.org/maven/plugins/svg/
It just converts svg images to jpg and/or png.
The version is 1.1 and the only thing changed is that it depends on batik 1.6 which solves a problem of parsing images without any size settings.
A maven2 version of the plugin will follow..
Have fun...
