I don't know. I'm not well versed in Apache compat standards. I do know that
they are different from Subversion's, because if they were the same, Apache
couldn't adopt APR 1.x until Apache 3.x.

How is it easier than a simple "SVN_VER_MINOR >= X" ?

And if someone really did want to support multiple Subversion major
versions, wouldn't the appropriate test be:

SVN_VER_MAJOR == X && SVN_VER_MINOR >= Y

?

Max.
