You really don't need it in UNIX. The native tool set is sufficient. For
example, if you use 'make' or 'ant', it is (relatively) easy to get the
current wc rev, save it, and use it in further processing. It's also simple
to have a script output the current version

echo '#define SVNVER "'$(svnversion -n .)'"' > svnver.h

to create a c include file for example.

You could also recreate svnwcrev functionality using sed or m4 fairly
easily.

sed "s/@WCREV@/$(svnversion -n .)/g" file.in > file.out

NOTE: It's been so long since I've looked at svnwcrev that I don't remember
the names. The @WCREV@ reference syntax is a WAG and likely incorrect.

Cheers
