That's not correct. The reason why there are different dll's for VC6 and VC7
for the berkeley db is that VC7 uses a newer version of the C-runtime
library.
And according to MSDN these versions are not compatible, i.e. can't be used
both from the same process.
And since subversion also uses functions from the C-runtime lib (e.g.
stdout)
there must therefore also be two versions of the subversion dll.
