As I've said before:
* First, we have to replace our URL parsing code with the utilities
from apr-util
* Then fix apr-util to do the right thing on Windows.
It would be great if somebody that uses subversion on Windows (hint,

I'd do it myself, but my time machine can't squeze more than 26 hours in
