It's more cumbersome than the interface currently defined in
mod_authz_svn, which attempts to gracefully ignore the problems and
therefore doesn't need to handle errors in the authz parsing code.
That's what I meant by "more cumbersome" : svn_error_t's need to be
added to the interface. I didn't mean that I object to handling the
errors :)

So, a bug it is. It'll be corrected in my first patch then :-)
