Baby steps, baby steps. I don't have _that_ much spare time right now.
I just want to make my life a little easier and do a little pre massaging
for the future stand alone lib. Selfish little me ;). So, stand-alone,
yes, in due time. For now, please let me keep it in SVN, but self-contained.

To address Philips question:

I'd like to remove all the dependencies on other SVN libraries the upcomming
couple of weeks. The dependency is also there because of the svn_error_xxx
calls.
