please consider adding SVG polyfill

Hi Alex, please consider adding this SVG polyfill (or a better one!) to Webshim: https://code.google.com/p/svgweb/

@AMA3 You might not be aware, but SVG has been widely supported natively for a long time: http://caniuse.com/#feat=svg

Unfortunately, svgweb is probably the best and most comprehensive SVG polyfill available, but after using it in several projects I can say it is not possible to use without modifications to your SVG file and any JS that interacts with it. It's a good plugin, but you'll spend a lot of time making your SVG work with svgweb. That said, svgweb has saved my rear on several projects, but I don't think it's a good fit for the webshim library.

@gouch The devil here, as usual, is IE8! @thirdender Maybe svgweb is not the right polyfill, or maybe it could be adapted somehow, or maybe there's a better fit using a "lesser" polyfill... I don't know, I'd just love to see a good SVG polyfill in webshim :)
