svnlook_tests.py 12 failing on trunk and 1.6.x over ra_serf and ra_neon

As I mentioned in IRC earlier this week, svnlook_tests.py 12 was
failing for me on Windows over ra_neon and ra_serf (svnlook_tests.py
11 on the 1.6.x branch).

The test failed when the python pre-commit hook failed to write the
output of 'svnlook -t' to a temporary file. Thing is, breaking a
debug mid-way through the tests' commit so the transaction file was
still present, and running svnlook from the command line worked fine.
Heck, even running the hook script from the command line worked.

At first I thought that only a release build of Apache was
susceptible; running the tests again a debug version of httpd.exe
worked fine. Somewhat belatedly I tried running against a manually
started release build of httpd.exe and damn if it didn't work too.

So it seems something is amiss with my Apache InstallBin target,
though what I'm not yet sure (and honestly won't be spending any more
time trying to figure out unless someone else has the same problem).

Anyhow, I mention all of this because for me it would have blocked
1.6.11, but all is good now.
