Just as a general heads-up: post-M3, I plan to integrate the use of APRUTIL
into SVN. APRUTIL will bring us a general interface to Expat (whether
installed on the system, or an embedded copy), and it will contain some
other needed items, such as MD5 hashing (currently, MD5 is in APR, but it
will be moving). In addition, mod_dav_svn uses apr_dbm functions for its
activities (linking to aprutil via Apache), but svnadmin also needs to
access those. Thus, svnadmin will need aprutil.

Basically: expat-lite will disappear and apr-util will be introduced.

In a similar vein, we'll probably dump our private libtool stuff and use the
libtool that APR builds for us. We may also be able to use some of APR's
build rules, but I'm not entirely sure there. The increased reliance on APR
at build-time is to give us the same platform independence that we already
get during runtime.

Cheers,
