I'm not doing anything funny here. It's basically a stock jekyll installation, with jekyll-sass and -haml installed as well, but not even used yet.

1.9.3p392 :001 > require 'rack'
 => true
1.9.3p392 :002 > Rack::Mime.mime_type(".svg")
 => "image/svg+xml"

I found this, and it solved my problem.

Drop this into _plugins/svg.rb:

require 'webrick'
include WEBrick
WEBrick::HTTPUtils::DefaultMimeTypes.store 'svg', 'image/svg+xml'

Jekyll should start serving SVG by default with 1.0.0 as well.
