I'd say it depends :)
Building svn on Windows with the recommended python build scripts
requires a lot of manual steps, because the dependencies (e.g., apr) are
not built with those scripts and have to be built separately.
But I've created some NAnt scripts for TSVN which do all this in one
step: build all the dependencies (apr, openssl, ...) and the Subversion
libs by simply executing 'nant Subversion'. The only thing those NAnt
scripts require is that all libraries (source code) are stored in a
defined location (i.e., there's no way to tell the script where the
sources are: it assumes the sources are where it expects them to be).
If there's a demand for a more Subversion-only NAnt script, I could
create one.
