Use SVG.js or Snap.svg instead of vanilia SVG / JavaScript

[nhoizey]

SVG.js is

A lightweight library for manipulating and animating SVG

Snap.svg is

The JavaScript SVG library for the modern web (built by Raphael.js' author)

SVG elements could be created by SVG.js or Snap.svg instead of statically defined, allowing a better layout optimization depending on current viewport (see #3)

Animations would not use SMIL anymore, so:

• + esviji could maybe work on Internet Explorer
• - esviji would be less SVGish
