It should be possible to do this by making libsvn_wc a pluggable
meta-API, like libsvn_ra. A bit tricky because it has a quasi-public API
and wasn't designed to be easily replaced. I think the main reason why
this never happened was that libsvn_wc prior to 1.7 was the bottomless
pit from which there was no exit, i.e., no-one sane wanted to go there. :)

SVNkit has the advantage of not being constrained in this way.
