Subject: [PATCH] countdown: move rsvg_init and rsvg_term into main

Initialize rsvg at startup and clean it up at exit.
rsvg_term is particularly subtle as it calls xmlCleanupParser()
triggering nasty crashes (e.g. with PulseAudio) with multithread
applications.
See http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/beware-of-rsvg-term.html for more
info.
Rsvg loading seems to work even without these functions so I'm not sure
it's worth to keep them.
