Statically linked mod_dav_svn.so?

Hello!

While I did the last testing of my svntest patch, I ran to this:

If I configure subversion to build and link statically, I can not
build mod_dav_svn.so.

So my questions are:

1) Is it meaningful at all to try build statically linked
   mod_dav_svn.so, I mean, I don't know how Apache DSO modules should
   work, or which kind they should be.
   
   Regarding this document, http://httpd.apache.org/docs-2.0/dso.html,
   this isn't the smartest thing to do, is it?

2) However, make should not fail with this config.

3) How should I build/link/configure/etc httpd with statically linked
   mod_svn_dav? There is no option --with-dav-svn for httpd/configure,
   or is this just a configuration that is not formally supported?

What I have done:

configure:
#!/bin/sh

    "../svn/configure" \
    "--prefix=/data/svntest/inst/svn" \
    "--with-apr=/data/svntest/inst/apr-0.9" \
    "--with-apr-util=/data/svntest/inst/apr-util-0.9" \
    "--with-apxs=/data/svntest/inst/httpd-2.0/bin/apxs" \
    "--disable-shared" \
    "$@"

make
make install

and the result is:
...

Libraries have been installed in:
   /data/svntest/inst/httpd-2.0/modules

If you ever happen to want to link against installed libraries
in a given directory, LIBDIR, you must either use libtool, and
specify the full pathname of the library, or use the `-LLIBDIR'
flag during linking and do at least one of the following:
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH' environment variable
     during execution
   - add LIBDIR to the `LD_RUN_PATH' environment variable
     during linking
   - use the `-Wl,--rpath -Wl,LIBDIR' linker flag
   - have your system administrator add LIBDIR to `/etc/ld.so.conf'

See any operating system documentation about shared libraries for
more information, such as the ld(1) and ld.so(8) manual pages.
