I added (early) SVG support, it will output as PNG by default, example:

SVG-images are vector based, and the proxy works with bitmaps only. We don’t proxy files bit-for-bit, instead, the first frame of every image get’s processed towards a bitmap, which we eventually recode into (for example) an JPEG-file.
I’m afraid a lot of the quality gets lost. I’m also not sure about the need for resizing if you already have vector based images.
