[RFC] Subversion 1.3 distribution tar slimmer?

From: Erik Huelsmann <ehuels_at_gmail.com>

In the pre-1.0 era, we distributed full neon and APR sources with
Subversion. The reason being that most people had to build from source and
we didn't want them to have to search for some or all of subversion's
dependencies.

In the current post 1.2 era, most of our users install one of the binary
packages either provided from the svn homepage or by packagers. In most
cases packagers will be bound to system provided versions of neon and APR.
Remains only a very limited group building from source.

I'd like to break with the pre-1.0 era for the distribution tarball and
start shipping only the Subversion sources.

bye,

Erik.
