Okay... make sure everything is checked in before you leave tonite. Or
you'll be in merge hell tomorrow :-)

I'm going to make a mother-commit to s/svn_string_t/svn_stringbuf_t/ across
our whole code repository.

We'll let that shake out, then I'll start introducing svn_string_t (the name
for what I called svn_kstring_t). The first place I'll be starting is with
the FS library so that I can get good bindings around that sucker.

Cheers,
