The Subversion project is an open source project, and as a rule the project only
supplies source code. Unlike binary executables, source code is not
platform-specific, and can then be compiled by others to create their own
binaries. Creating these executables ourselves requires immense time and
effort, not to mention access to each of the target platforms.

It is neither efficient nor desired for the Subversion project to provide every
conceivable binary desired. We consciously choose not to spread our resources
in this manner, and instead focus on improving the features and quality of
Subversion itself. All of the files you refer to above are provided by
volunteers, not the project itself.

Many third parties do (as you've already discovered).

Would you be willing to provide such a script, and create and test the binaries,
and provide hosting for them? If so, I'm sure we can help point people in your
direction.
