I like number 2 best - and a 'svnlibdb42.dll' in stead of libdb42.dll
would be nice as well. The reason is of course that other modules might
need diffrent versions of intl.dll and libdb42.dll.

It might - at least with the installer unless someone have second thougs
about it.

My only reservation (beside polluting Apache's module folder with general
named DLL's) is that you're the first one to report this problem
(AFAIK). Also, a log out and in again (and sometimes a reboot) usually
fix problems like this. I don't really know why, but it seems to me that
console and shell based programs are not allways aware of changes in
path simultaneously (after a SendMessageTimeout API call).

I'll wait and see a short period before deciding what to do with your
patch.

Thanks for sending it! :-)
