Nothing. It's quite O.K. to require Python in order to build on Windows.
Most Windows users will be using the pre-built binaries or installer, so
whoever wants to build SVN themselves can dam' well install Python. It's

Right. As for new concepts... we already have --with-httpd, so it should
be no trouble at all to add --with-berkeley-db, --with-apr*, etc. After
0.22.
Of course, the most important bit right now is getting the shape of the
