Yes I did. But that was some time ago:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=dev&msgNo=106703

But then, it got rejected with an argument I simply couldn't do anything
about:
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=dev&msgNo=106869
I can't prove rumors wrong.

So this time I decided to not send the patch at all but keep it to
myself. Because I still can't prove that rumor wrong. So there was no
point in even trying.

Well, I'm using NAnt scripts to build all the libraries (that way,
patching them is much easier to do, and I can customize the build the
way I want and need to). I haven't really tried building with the *.dsp
files (*.dsw are the workspace files, I think you meant the *.dsp files
which are the project files for the builds).

First, you need to 'patch' apr-util:

apr-util\include\apu.hw (or apu.h if it already exists):
there's a define in there
#define APU_HAVE_APR_ICONV 1
#define APU_HAVE_ICONV 0
#define APR_HAS_XLATE (APU_HAVE_APR_ICONV || APU_HAVE_ICONV)
set APU_HAVE_APR_ICONV to 0 instead of 1.

Not sure if those defines are also set in the *.dsp files which the
Subversion build generator creates (as mentioned above, I don't use
them). If they're defined, you may have to change them too.

Just make sure that you test your build (e.g., by updating files with
non-ascii names) to make sure that the iconv files really are not
used/needed anymore.
