Oh, sorry; I mixed up SVN_FILE_NAME and SVN_FILE_DESCRIPTION. Yes,
SVN_FILE_NAME is just the name of the output file, so you can generate
that in the template. You can't generate the description, though; that
has to come from build.conf. (svn = "Subversion Client", svnadmin =
"Subversion Repository Administrator", ...)

Yes, I suspected something like that, although I see libsvn_test as a
dependency everywhere.

Should be able to; but svn_test_main.c is in libsvn_test, which is
listed as a dependency of all those test programs; that's why I don't
understand what's going on.

Both __CONFIG__ and the generator should be doing that; Dunno why Greg
didn't commit that part of my patch Greg?
