I don't understand these last two questions, can you elaborate? I
don't see why your module needs anything more than dav_svn_split_uri().
That's all mod_authz_svn needs.
Also, have you looked at mod_authz_svn? It's incredibly simple, and
your own module could use it as a template. Your own module would be
even smaller and simpler.
