	INSTRUCTIONS TO USE THE SVGZ PATCH

	1. Apply the patch to your wiki directory,
	e.g. patch -p1 svgz.patch

	2. In LocalSettings.php, add these lines:
	$wgStrictFileExtensions=false;
	$wgEnableUploads = true;

	3. You MUST enable your web server to properly serve
	SVGZ files with Content-Encoding:gzip and MIME type
	image/svg+xml. This is NOT enabled by default.
	Edit httpd.conf or .htaccess (search Google if stuck)
	EXAMPLE: In Apache's httpd.conf, add these lines:

	AddType image/svg+xml .svg .svgz
	AddEncoding gzip .svgz
	<Files .svgz.>
	RemoveEncoding .svgz
	</Files>

	4. Restart your web server (on Linux, sudo /etc/init.d/httpd restart)
	5. That's it! Have fun. Report bugs/problems/etc. to en:User_talk:Brownsteve

	NOTES ABOUT THIS PATCH
	SVG is not a registered MIME type with IANA.
	Apache only includes IANA-approved MIME types by default.
	You must configure your httpd.conf by hand until this is fixed.

	We assume all browsers that can render SVG graphics
	can also Accept-Encoding:gzip.
