Didn't give me a lot of time to respond... :-)

I'd take Philip's(?) suggestion and call it 'contrib' instead of
buildonly. Also, I would not put those into the default build rule. These
are contributed programs, and many developers and *users* may not want
them built.

If you change it over to 'contrib', then a person can always do:

$ make contrib

Hunh? We don't have a subversion.pc file. Should one be created, we'd
handle it similar to svn-config.
