I am going to create two sets of instructions - one for 1.0.x and one for the trunk.

Added 'use -t vcproj' to gen-make.py to use VS .NET.

It is the easiest way to get Apache installed and running, the only reason we have to build Apache
from source is to create the modules.

How does Apache locate BDB then? It's buried in the subversion source directory so I can't see how
it can find it.

That didn't work for me, I think I had line ending problems on Windows.

My goal was to make it as easy as possible to get Subversion built so I think it is worth repeating
these instructions.

I think I need it!

Thanks, when I try to do trunk I'll remember that!
Thank you very much, most helpful. I am currently working on 1.0.x INSTALL.
