No worries, you're never denser than water, and that's pretty runny most
of the time. :-p

Here goes.

When creating the repository, svnadmin will create a file in
<repos>/config (or use an existing one, for all I know) and write the
following:

    [deltification]
    svnadmin-path = /foo/bar/qux/svnadmin
    auto-deltify = on
    # other params

It will figure out the 'svnadmin-path' parameter like so:

    svnadmin-path = svn_path_get_absolute(argv[0]);

which should work everywhere.

After the commit -- in the post-commit hook phase -- the repos layer
will read this config file and launch "svnadmin deltify" as a separate
process.

Or some variant thereof.
