Merry Xmas. :-)

Hopefully gstein will have time to look this over. I think it's
pretty clean and simple... it's doing the stuff we've been discussing
for the last N months. After it's been reviewed and tested some more,
I hope we can merge it back into /trunk.

After switching your mod_dav_svn dir to the same dir in the branch,
all you have to do is add one line to your Location:

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath /usr/local/svn
  SVNAutoversioning
</Location>

This feature passes now 'make check' whether the SVNAutoversioning
directive is present or not, so I take this as a Good Sign. From
here, I think it's just a matter of discovering quirks in the way
mod_dav_svn interacts with existing WebDAV clients.
