What about to add a configure switch to build a standalone client (and
standalone svnadmin and svnlook) ?? At this time to do this you must
edit your Makefile and add -all-static to LINK variable by hand.

You cannot use ``configure LDFLAGS=-all-static`` because in this way the
configure check for a working compiler fails (?? i think that there is
something wronk here).

I haven't any knoweledge of autoconf and automake so if you want me to
supply a path this could take a lot of time.
