I had to just to get APR building on Windows. They had some NMAKE scripts
already, but those did not function. I have all 3 APR libraries building
right now, so we'll see if they contain all of the code needed for
Subversion when I build it later on. I'm going to be creating CMake scripts
for Subversion next, since the vc6-build.bat file is ancient and broken as
well :)

If I get it somewhat functional, I will submit it to the Subversion library.
You guys can either choose to take it or leave it at that point, but I
absolutely need to do this to make it easier for people (particularly
myself) to build Subversion on Windows.

Thanks for your help.
