The Subversion libraries depend on APR, so you *will* have to link
against APR.

If you want to use Subversion from a language that doesn't directly
support C then you will need appropriate bindings, that's how
multi-language programming works. If you use language X, where
someone else has already provided bindings, then use those. If you
use language Y, where no one has yet provided bindings, then you get
to write the bindings :-)
What so hard about searching header files anyway? One grep from the
command line (or I suppose a GUI based search for IDE people). Or set
up a TAGS file and use Emacs tags. Or whatever, just use an
appropriate tool.

You have missed the point. Why should I enter them once if they are
not required? The auth_baton has callbacks to get the username and
password, if the auth data are not required the callbacks do not get
called and so I never enter the data. If the auth data are required,
the callbacks should request the data and cache it. That's how the
command line client does it.
