The problem with the Windows build is that it doesn't let you drop tings
that aren't strictly necessary. In theory, you should be able to build
the client without BDB (and you can do so on Unix). In practice, the
Windows build isn't flexible enough.

That said, you should only use --enable-bdb-in-apr-util *once*. That
switch tells gen-make.py to modify the apr-util headers and project
files to link with BDB.

You'll also need the headers and libraries, not just the binaries.

We don't search the path. You should point to the BDB install dir with
the --with-berkeley-db switch. gen-make.py expects a certain layout
there (you can find an example in
http://subversion.tigris.org/files/documents/15/24470/db-4.3.28-win32.zip).
I quite frankly don't know if the BDB installer creates the same layout.

You need a parameter for -t; I suspect you actually did have one, or the
reported error would've been different.
