Yeah, my RPMS build both a static and dynamic build. The static build is
just so I can get svnadmin in static form so people have a recourse if
they update their RPMS before reading conversion documents when there is a
DB4 format change or when they update to a new Subversion which is
incompatable with the older one. Then they can do a "svn dump"/"svn load"
cycle with the old static svnadmin without having to re-install the old RPMS.

I just ignore that warning but it would be nice if it were fixed to
not warn about it (because its not true).
