I'm sort of confused... I'm like Justin, in that sure, whenever I get
a new box, I "bootstrap" by building everything from scratch. But
it's a one-time thing, right? You only have to hunt down the
dependencies and install them exactly once. After that, subsequent
upgrades of subversion keep on using the same dependencies; the ones
in the extra-large tarball are either useless, ignored, or contradict
what you already have installed...?
