Be carefull with that: if you don't build it with VC6, the wrapper will
use a different C-runtime library than svnserve.exe, which then could
lead to some very nasty crashs. Different C-Runtime libs in the same
process don't work very well. MS recommends to rebuild all libs to use
the same runtime.

So if you really want to build it with VCExpress or VS.NET/VS2005, then
you must also compile svnserve.exe with the same compiler.
