In general, patches against trunk are preferred, because all
changes enter our code base through trunk.

Just pass the parameter on all platforms. It is OK if it is ignored
on platforms which don't support the feature.

Are you saying that you've already implemented such "on-demand"
recognition you're describing, or not?

Thank you for the patch.

Two minor stylistic nits:

Since you are defining these in a public header file,
all these structs need an svn_appledouble_ prefix.

I wonder if it is needed to expose these structs in public API.
Couldn't this header be moved to subversion/include/private/ ?

In any case, the naming conventions for the structs should
follow the ones of other headers. "struct Point" should probably
be "struct svn_appledouble_point", etc.

No space after function names, i.e. 'strlen(' instead of 'strlen ('.

Glancing over the patch I could not see much else wrong with it
stylistically.

Someone will need to test it properly though before we can commit it.

@everyone:
I might not have clearly stated this before, but I am +1 on the idea
of adding this functionality now. But only on the condition that we decide
to move out all platform-specific property handling into its own layer
in the future, as proposed by Julian. This code, and all the other special
props managing platform-specific features shall go into that layer
once it's ready. The client and working copy libraries should not get
littered with additional platform-specific code in the future.
It really does not belong there.

I think we should open a "bite-sized" issue for factoring out
platform-specific property handling into a layer of its own.
Shall I do that?
