Ahhh, thanks for this helpful information.

Well cgview is not actively maintained (but has quite a number of users)
and what exactly should I say to Batik upstream if they decided to move
it to a noew project?  I admit I have no idea what to say and where to
report.

Wouldn't it help more if I simply try to package batik-constants?

Kind regards

       Andreas.
