Seems I missed some more changes :)

Considering how long it took to get a new release the last time with the
security fix (about two months), I really doubt that this will happen soon.

If the manifest is missing, the CRT isn't loaded (try the dependency
viewer on those files, you'll get a "MSVCRT80.dll not found" error). So
basically without the manifest, the dll's won't load at all, and
therefore won't work at all.
You might not have noticed this with the iconv modules, because they're
only needed if you have non-ascii paths/urls to deal with...

Good idea :)
Another thing what would really, really help me a lot:
a dummy project in the Subversion solution file which only builds the
Subversion libs, *without* apr,apr-iconv,apr-util. Because building
apr-iconv takes really a very long time, and I have to build Subversion
twice (once with and once without file/DAV/svn support), and if I do a
rebuild on __ALL__, the apr libs get rebuilt too twice.
Since I don't know python at all, I hope someone else can hack the build
generator to produce such a project?
