Hi Stephen,
I am forwarding this to the dev list, since I feel it's something they could
benefit from, and add to, since they have been working with Subversion a lot
longer than I have. Comments are inline.

I have managed a decent compilation, yes. Runtime is another matter. There
are still a few bugs to be worked out in regards to whether or not
apr_time_t is being passed around properly.

I can certainly send you them. That's not a problem at all. In fact, what
I'll send you is a zip file that you can just unzip into <Python Install
Directory>\Lib\site-packages. that should get you going. the only caveat
is that I linked against Python 2.2. So you'll need at least that version
in order to get running.

The whole point of having python bindings (hopefully) is that there is no
need when scripting for the svn binaries. Basically, the integration is
like this: Swig generates c files to be compiled, which are then combined
with the svn libs into shared libraries. You then only need to make these
shared libraries (.pyd on windows) visible to Python under it's
Lib\site-packages directory.
