I know that. But this worked (still does) on the 1.0.x branch. There the
library get's added to the projects link dependencies by the script.

Building Apache first means using the *.dsp files and convert them first.
That will work, yes. But so does the "-t dsp" part of the script.

It does this _only_ if you start the IDE and load the solution file.
But if you try to do this:
devenv subversion_vcnet.sln /useenv /build release /project "__ALL__"
it doesn't work because it stops with an error message that the
solution/project files first have to be converted. And converting from the
command line is not possible (believe me: I searched all docs, googled for
two days).
But that's not a real problem. As I said I can work around that by tweaking
that version number in the solution file myself.

Oh no! Please don't. If you do that, then I can forget having a build script
for TSVN because I then _must_ build Subversion "manually" first, i.e. not
from the command line.

I found another "bug" in the "-t vcproj" build:
if you do a /rebuild instead of just a /build, then the
/build/win32/build_neon.bat file get's deleted before the actual build
(seems the "temp" pattern specified includes *.bat). That means that a
/rebuild is not possible at all. Only normal builds work.
