No, the programs shouldn't go into the source tree; but the output tree
should have the same structure as the source tree. So, for example,
svn.exe should go into ./Release/subversion/clients/cmdline/svn.exe

You have to define that in the .dsp. The sections in build.conf should
get a new parameter that gets defined as "SVN_FILE_NAME".

No, it's not a conversion problem. It happens to me, using VC6, too.

My original patch copied getdate.c and svn_private_config.h to the right
places before generating the .dsp's. I dunno if Greg committed that part
or not.
