I was considering using Kamesh's fix for a permanent solution to the
compilation problem I introduced yesterday for pre-1.3.0 APR libraries
(which David Glasser fixed, and I spruced up), which boiled down to
usage of the APR_VERSION_AT_LEAST(1, 3, 0) macro, which wasn't
introduced until about a month ago (in 1.3.0 itself).

However, after talking things over on IRC, a more easily maintainable
solution was suggested -- SVN_APR_VERSION_AT_LEAST(). This macro will
both fix this particular case nicely, and allow us to more easily
leverage any future new APIs from APR.

As this isn't a publicly accessible macro, but does need to be shared
across our code base, it was suggested that I put it in
private/svn_compat.h. I'm attaching a patch which does that, and
makes use of the macro.
