Win32 Debug build fails without VC++6 installed

Hi,

The debug version of BDB available from the Subversion web site is linked
against MSVCRTD.dll, which is not included. This file is part of Visual
C++ 6 and AFAIK can't be distributed[1]. Hence to do a debug build of
Subversion I think one of the following needs to hold:

- You need to have Visual C++ 6 installed. (Note that you can compile
   Subversion with VC++.NET and this should work, you just need Visual
   C++ 6 for the DLL).
- You need to rebuild BDB using a compiler that you do have installed.
- You need to use the release version of BDB even though you're doing
   a debug build of Subversion. This requires editing several makefiles
   (or, as a kludge, you might be able to copy the release .lib file
   over the debug one).

Anybody else hit this issue? Any workaround I've missed?

Kind regards,

Jon Foster
