Well, mod_dav + mod_dav_svn ~= 20,000 lines of intricate code. My guess
is whatever headache you're trying to avoid by not installing Apache will
be greatly outweighed by the headache you bring upon yourself by rewriting
mod_dav and mod_dav_svn.
Further, we're likely to make improvements in mod_dav_svn. You'll need
to make the same improvements to your reimplementation, and there are more
of us than there are of you, so you might have trouble just keeping up
with a diverging mod_dav_svn once you were done.
