It's easy to find out the version of an official Cygwin package that
supplies a given library.  If you know the name of the package (say,
"libfoo"), simply run "cygcheck -cd libfoo".  If you don't know the
package that supplies it, but know the name of the library (say,
/usr/lib/libfoo.a), run "cygcheck -f /usr/lib/libfoo.a" -- it will tell
you both the package and the version.

AFAICS, there is no librsvg in the cygwin distribution.  If it was a typo,
the above recipe should work for the actual library name.  If you actually
do have a librsvg on your machine, I don't know of a general way to do
what you want.
