I've already patched the function _sasl_get_default_win_path() to not
use the registry or the fixed path but use GetModuleFileName() to find
out where the calling app is installed and use that path instead.
But while this works with the tool "pluginviewer" which comes with the
cyrus sasl lib, I can't get the testsuite.exe to work.

How about setting up a test svnserve with sasl enabled so client devs
can test against it? Maybe even multiple setups with different auth
types. That would help a lot.
