If you're implying that Windows' security features are weaker than
Unix's, I think you're in for a nasty surprise. Windows has a very
powerful security architecture that leaves most Unices far behind, but
we don't have a good API for it in APR. Nor do we really need it for
securing Subversion repositories, because the fact that Windows
filesystem ACLs are inheritable makes things that are horribly hard to
do on Unix childishly easy to set up on Windows.
