Well, there is. But I guess that Subversion does not install the SASL
dlls there but in the svn directory.
And of course, as I repeatedly warned (not just for SASL but for
apr-iconv too) this is a desaster waiting to happen. That's why I call

sasl_set_path(SASL_PATH_TYPE_PLUGIN, path_to_install_dir);

in TortoiseSVN to avoid having SASL use dlls which are not built and
tested for TSVN.

I would recommend that the svn.exe client would do the same (at least on
Windows).
