Inkscape < http://www.inkscape.org/> also does a good job at command- 
line SVG rasterisation and is quicker to fire up and rasterise than  
the Java-based batik.
I've used it before in a rendering pipeline for GraphViz because the  
Windows renderer in GraphViz didn't anti-aliase and curves looked  
terrible.
Inkscape is a native app on most platforms.

FYI GraphViz is now using the Cairo libraries to provide smooth  
drawing on most platforms other than OS/X.
