Ok, I fixed the copyright dates here, and also in sasl_auth.c.

I added a comment explaining these values.

Fixed.

Done.

Fixed.

I removed those checks. The mutex should never be NULL anyway.

It wouldn't do us any good here. That callback has a void return value.

svn_ra_svn__sasl_common_init() is an internal function, guaranteed to
be called only once. See svn_ra_svn__sasl_init().

Cyrus SASL maintains a reference count of how many times sasl_{client,
server}_init and sasl_done were called. So this should be OK. However,
if that other library calls sasl_client_init() before us, and doesn't
use mutex callbacks (or uses callbacks that are incompatible with
APR's implementation), then things will stiil break, and there's not
much we can do about it.

(I think) I fixed these problems.

No argument from me...

They're not unbounded.

I attached a new version of my patch.
