parse fails when parsing style tag

See original GitHub issue

We’ve got an svg that looks kind of like this:

<svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
  <defs>
    <style>
      .clipped-thing {
        clip-path: url(#clip-path);
      }  
    </style>
    <clipPath id="clip-path">
      <rect y="-0.86" width="375" height="177"/>
    </clipPath>
  </defs>
  <g class="clipped-thing">
    <!-- SOME SVG STUFF -->
  </g>
</svg>

loading this svg fails with: Module build failed: SyntaxError: unknown: Unexpected token on clip-path: url(#clip-path);

It seems to work for me - https://github.com/boopathi/react-svg-loader/commit/1bb152ef6871511198d8f221271a9783449729c6#diff-9bb3de20ef60fb0751fb0025b2cd27eaR22 . It removes the style tags from the svgs.

Oh, sorry, I have used webpack 2.x config instead of webpack 1.x. Now everything works properly. So for this issue I suggest to use svgo config with removeStyleElement: true
