Sorry, it was a couple of days ago and I'm not sure where I saw it. There wasn't any discussion of AGG in that thread. Someone just made an off-hand comment in the midst of a bunch of other stuff about AGG making future filter support easier but that was it.
However, while searching for that reference I found this: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=8193141
AGG is not used by Cairo though.
I don't know about the license problem that was mentioned. As far as I know AGG is using a BSD-like free license.
Nothing more was ever mentioned. I wonder if some issue was discovered, or maybe the idea was just forgotten.
I'm pretty sure Inkscape (and Sodipodi) never used librsvg.
I haven't heard Antigrain Geometry (AGG) mentioned before (at least not on the Inkscape lists) but you suggest it has come up already so perhaps it was only mentioned briefly and now that you have mentioned it developers will take another look at it.
OK. I thought Sodipodi used librsvg and at some point Inkscape changed to livarot.
