cvs2svn doesn't use Apache in any way, so you don't even need it installed.
All that is necessary for cvs2svn is the FS and REPOS libraries, and the
SWIG bindings. (plus the various python scripts, of course)

Separate RPM for the SWIG bindings. If that svn-swig RPM also includes
cvs2svn, then all righty. Maybe install some of the examples somewhere, too?

I absolutely would do this. APR(UTIL) and httpd are versioned independently
and have their own release cycles. To me, that implies distinct RPMs.

Over time, I hope that we'll see more users of APR(UTIL), so having a
distinct RPM will also be a Good Thing(tm).
