Okay. That was never stated in the justification for r14755. Removing
the svn_ra_initialize call should be safe in that case.

I'm not quite sure what you mean by this statement. It sounds like we
have to link against -lsvn_ra if we use svn_ra_initialize (on some
platforms), but I don't think it's wrong for a 1.2 program to call
svn_ra_initialize if it doesn't directly call any other svn_ra
functions.

No argument against providing a libsvn_client initialization API.
