  Description     : Tiny 2D vector graphics library in C

plutovg is a small vector graphics library, and appears to be a smaller,
less featureful alternative to larger libraries like Cairo. It is a
dependency of plutosvg (RFP to be opened soon) which libsdl3-ttf can
optionally use to draw emoji in SVG format embedded in OpenType fonts.

I don't know whether it has a stable API or ABI at this stage (any
prospective maintainer should talk to upstream about whether it does
before building it as a shared library). If not, it might need to go to
experimental until it has stabilized.

If plutovg isn't packaged separately or isn't yet suitable to be packaged
separately, libsdl3-ttf can potentially use its vendored copy, if we stop
deleting the vendored copy (but that will require a copyright/licensing
check that I have not yet had time to do).
