Stefan,
I've changed the API to take an array instead of a single path. Would
you look over this patch and make sure that it does what you want it to?

Note that we don't yet make the same interface change to
svn_wc_set_changelist(), mainly due to the lack of notification support.
 Once notification support gets added, we can easily push the array
interface down to libsvn_wc.

[[[
Make svn_client_set_changelist() accept an array of paths.

* subversion/include/svn_client.h
  (svn_client_set_changelist): Make the path argument an array, and
  adjust docs.

* subversion/libsvn_client/changelist.c
  (svn_client_set_changelist): Set the callback status for each target
  in the paths array.

* subversion/svn/changelist-cmd.c
  (svn_cl__changelist): Remove loop, just call the client library using
  the targets array.
