The files in the V2TK directory in 99% of cases do NOT follow any
standard, apart from that they have been contributed from end users
and have worked with at least one version of DJGPP released.

I would suggest that you try to deal directly with the svgalib
maintainer with this or read the FAQ about submitting programs and
update it yourself if you feel so strong about it.
