as much as i hate notepad, at least it's always there on windows...

#ifndef WIN23
  editor = apr_getenv("EDITOR");
#else
  editor = "notepad.exe";
#end

would be my suggestion... at least for the command line client. should
also give some option (in the mythical .svnrc we don't have yet) to
specify a default editor of course.
