ummm... that's what pipes are for :) All you need is space for two
repositories. Not sure if that helps you though :)

i.e.: svnadmin dump old | svnadmin load new

I seem to remember there was also some sort of --enable-all-static
option or something similar. Haven't bothered to use either option yet,
though.

I've just looked at the output of configure --help:
[...]
  --enable-all-static Build completely static (standalone) binaries.
[...]

So it looks like that's the one to use.
