Okay, I checked the installer and it indeed uses the "-1" versions. I
modified the patch accordingly. However, other issues left me kind of
stumped...

1) The "required files" list does not include the Subversion libraries
themselves, prompting to question its validity even for 1.4.0. Does
setup.py pull them from somewhere else? I doubt that.
2) setup.py still has 1.4.0 as the version. So it's either not used to
package the newer bindings, or the newer bindings have the wrong version
number.
3)

Won't that exclude the non-module DLLs from the installer?

I'll probably refrain from making other changes to the README until
someone sheds some light on these.
