Would anyone be so kind as to tell me if I need to build libsvn_fs_fs and/or
libsvn_fs_base? Both seem to have an external dependencies that are not
listed in the README file as 'required'. keep in mind I just need the parts
of libsvn for the client, and I'm still experimenting as to what parts are
needed for the client. is _fs needed at all? This includes libsvn_fs,
libsvn_fs_fs, libsvn_fs_base, and libsvn_fs_util.

Thanks in advance.
