performance, reliability, correctitude.

the subclipse team has contributed a fairly large chunk of code to
javahl (just since i've been keeping track), and continue to improve
it. as of svn 1.1, the javahl build will be integrated with the main
build, and therefore be _much_ easier for you to build yourself,
eliminating the dependency and versioning problems (which are the
largest ones).

the other benefit is that javahl is much more amenable to fixing, as it
isn't used by users. getting svn cli to change its output for our
benefit is impossible (assuming the output isn't a bug). javahl on the
other hand, is much more malleable.

the real javahl discussion occurred on the dev@subversion.tigris.org
list if you need more.
