I'm not against the idea of a custom crash handler, but the patch as it
stands is unacceptable:

    * it uses C++ comments in C code
    * it uses Hungarian naming convention
    * the change doesn't belong in clients/cmdline/main.c, but in
      svn_cmdline_init (or a similar function in libsvn_subr/cmdline.c),
      because there are other command-line utilities that could use this
      functionality.
