From what I just observed while looking at the behavior of texmacs:

If you have an executable 'rsvg' in your PATH, texmacs recognizes the 
extension .svg and uses rsvg to transform svg images to png and then to 
postscript (this was on "insert image"). From reading 
progs/convert/images/init-images.scm, I guess it would also recognize an 
'inkscape' executable and use it to convert svg images.
