Yes, this is a problem with anything built with VS.NET -- the runtime
isn't installed on most existing systems, and IIRC is not freely
distributable (unless it's with you application, or something).

As far as I know, your assertion is not correct, and it should be
possible to use the BDB compiled with VC6 with a Subversion compiled
woth VS.NET.
