I did the 'svn ls' locally to test the repo and see if it was readable
for someone accessing it locally on the remote machine. For remote access
I've got Apache configured to make the repo available, and after doing
the 'svnadmin' trick of rebuilding the files the repo is available over
the net again. On my home machine I get this:

$ svn ls http://subversion.pythoncad.org:9000/svn
pythoncad/
$

I'll be investigating the problem with the BerkeleyDB files in the
coming days. I've tried downloading and building my own copy of the
db-4.0 libraries, and subversion failed with that as well. The important
thing is that the repository is again publically available.
