Additional Bootstrap Method

(preparing potentially to make a fool of himself, but people in IRC
thought it was slick...)

Looking at http://subversion.tirgis.org/project_source.html - it says:

   For the impatient: by pointing your web browser directly at
   Subversion's repository, you can browse the latest source. Because
   we use HTTP/WebDAV/DeltaV as our network protocol, we get very
   basic 'web' functionality for free.

   For real work: you need to "bootstrap" Subversion. That is, use
   Subversion to check out a working copy of its latest source tree.

It might be worth noting that for real work, you can also bootstrap a
version (albeit unversioned) of subversion by mounting the repos over
webdavfs or the like, and just copy TOT svn right to your local
drive. I wound up doing this when I didn't have a copy of the svn
binary handy. I suppose it sounds obvious, but this lowers the
barrier to "I wanna play with subversion" a little bit.

When you want the versioned flavor, just check it out afterward.
