We need to fix the crashes on Windows before the Python bindings will
be ready for a release candidate. Do you think the release could wait
a week?

No, this isn't solved. To fix the crash issues in the Windows
bindings, we need to compile Subversion on Windows with debug symbols,
and use a debugger to find out where the bindings are crashing during
the test suite. C. Mike, would you be able to take a look at this?

I'd like to commit the patch, but I don't know enough about the
affected scripts to test them properly. Anyone able to help?

If the Windows crashes are fixed, then our release candidate is ready to go.
Cheers,
David
P.S. The install-swig-py target can fail in a VPATH setup, if you are
building from a release build, and make the "install-swig-py" target
before making the "swig-py" target. Max Bowsher is currently working
on a fix. I'm hoping this fix will be included, but it is a minor
issue.
