I was unaware of this, as the only one who had responded to my previous
patch announcements didn't have any commit access himself, and was
submitting a patch directly to me. I do know that Brane, who seems to be in
charge of Win32 is out on vacation, so I don't want to bother him directly
at this point. I do know that I'm a bit uncertain and shaky on the whole
idea of submitting patches via Issuezilla, if the filename will be lost.
Anyways, the two patches and one addition should be applied in the following
order:

1. Patch with svn200302251332.diff This covers subversion.dsw,
subversion/bindings/swig/apr.i, and subversion/bindings/swig/swigutil_py.c

2. Add in win32.tar.gz These are the Win32 Project Files
for Python SWIG

3. Patch with diff.txt These are some enhancements by
Russell Yanofsky against a couple of things I overlooked, in addition to a
change to apr.i. There is also a change against cvs2svn.py, but that one
needs to be handled by Marco or whomever is in charge of it.

I'll start looking into this right now. Thanks a lot, Karl.
