While you're at it, we should consider replacing Cocoon's Batik with that
from FOP 0.20.5. Building FOP's site with CVS Forrest (fop 0.20.5 +
Batik from CVS) results in this error:
* [0] dev/svg/text.svg
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError:

Apparently this is a symptom of FOP requiring its own version of Batik:

http://koala.ilog.fr/batik/mlists/batik-dev/archives/msg03372.html
When I switch in FOP's Batik, the problem disappears. So I've committed
it for Forrest.
It's not clear-cut though. Quoting the first referenced email:
"This [using FOP's Batik] may have negative impacts on Cocoons SVG
serializer though, so you should not use a PDF generating pipeline
which uses embedded or referenced SVGs and a SVG generating pipeline at
the same time.
Cc'ing fop-dev's who better know the pros and cons of this move.
