I'd rather avoid using PATH for the same reasons as on Unix --
Subversion requires very specific versions of the diff and diff3
programs. The program paths can be changed in svn_private_config.hw, but
only at compile time.
The short-term solution woudl be to add a config file option for the
diff and diff3 locations. The long-term solution, of course, is to
finish the internal diff library.

MSVC 6.0 project files are in the repository; build instructions are in
INSTALL. Sorry, I can't help you with the others.

The best place would be the Subversion downloads area at
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=91
You'll have to log in to be able to upload files. You'll get Win32
binaries there, too.

I'd much rather have a single distro, with several install options, if
that's possible. Note too that, at the moment, the Berkeley DB DLL is
requred even if you don't use a local repository, because we don't load
RA modules dynamically on Windows (yet).

I'll build a fresh binary with mod_dav_svn and upload it later today.
Have to be careful, though -- mod_dav_svn is very dependent on the
Apache version. It works with CVS HEAD, I'm not sure about 2.0.39, though.
