Building subversion with libtool 1.4

Attached to this message are two files that can be used to build
subversion with libtool 1.4. One file (subversion-lt1.4-2.patch) is a
patch against subversion CVS. The second (svn-install.sh.in) should be
placed in the top-level subversion directory; it is a template for a
replacement install.sh script that ascends to the top-level source
directory before doing anything.

Caveats:

* The patch breaks building with libtool 1.3.5.

* You need to "make; make install" for this to work. Just doing
  "make install" fails. This seems to be a problem with the apr
build, and may be libtool 1.4-related.

* After building and installing, you need to manually install libmm
with "cd apr/shmem/unix/mm; make install". This appears to be a bug
  in the apr build, and does not seem to be libtool 1.4-related.

* I used autoconf 2.13; autoconf 2.50 won't work. (I've had problems
  with 2.50 with other packages as well.)

The replacement build script is a pretty hacky solution to the problem.
I'm not proposing it as a permanent fix, but rather as a stop-gap
measure to allow people (i.e. me) to play with subversion until some of
the kinks in the build system get worked out.

Enjoy,
