Whew! I'm sorry it was such a trial... But, it should be pointed out
that based on your list

... you were trying to get the server and the SWIG bindings. In other
words, the most complex possible set of requirements :-). Someone
just building a client won't encounter nearly as many problems. And
even someone who wants a server still might not want SWIG bindings.
Also, why did you need autoconf? The last item in your list is the
0.19.1 Subversion tarball, which should come preconfigured.
