We depend on specific versions of these now, search for APR_VER_REGEX
and APU_VER_REGEX in subversion's configure.in for the ranges.

"removed" as in we won't depend on Neon anymore? No, our dependence
on Neon is pretty strong, it's not going away.

In build/buildcheck.sh, search for these lines

   NEON_WANTED_REGEX=0.23.?
   NEON_LATEST_WORKING_VER=0.23.5

to see our Neon version requirements. Oh, well, or just read above :-).

Yup, as described in INSTALL.

Right.

All these are only for making docs.

There's a specific Service Pack level or something you need for VC++,
I think; someone here can give more details? (Brane?) I'm surprised
it's not documented in INSTALL section I.9.

Yup.

I think bison/yacc might be for building from working copy only;
source tarballs may not need it. But please test this theory, I'm not
positive about that.

I think that's right. We theoretically support Berkeley 4.1.24 right
now, but in practice we haven't really switched over yet.

Yup (actually, not sure this is optional for the working copy builds,
as the autogen.sh step invokes gen-make.py, which depends on Python.
You might want to check if it's sensitive to version... I think there
was some discussion recently of whether it could still work in 1.x).

Hope this helps! If you spot problems in INSTALL, a patch would be
most welcome,
