Build systems related remarks and a small patch

Hi,

I tried compiling and installing r925154 and got in the install step:

$ ../configure --enable-maintainer-mode --enable-debug
--prefix=/home/jens/local/subversion.trunk --enable-javahl
--with-jdk=/etc/alternatives/java_sdk_openjdk
$ make
$ make install

../subversion/libsvn_wc/lock.c:123: (apr_err=155036)
../subversion/libsvn_wc/lock.c:123: (apr_err=155036)
../subversion/libsvn_wc/wc_db.c:5417: (apr_err=155036)
../subversion/libsvn_wc/wc_db.c:1073: (apr_err=155036)
../subversion/libsvn_wc/wc_db.c:425: (apr_err=155036)
../subversion/libsvn_wc/upgrade.c:1086: (apr_err=155036)
svn: Working copy format of '/home/jens/Programme/subversion/svn.trunk' is
too old (9); please run 'svn upgrade'

It's not easy to see that the install was succesful. Using option -d of make
reveals that this message is created in the "revision-install" target and
that
"/home/jens/local/subversion.trunk/include/subversion-1/svn-revision.txt"
was sucessfully created.

Nevertheless I suggest to print an explaining message before this or to
redirect the error message to /dev/null.

I also miss JavaHL stuff. Where is it installed?
Ah, searching in the Makefile I found the target "install-javahl". Why isn't
this called from "install"?

Mhm, I may be wrong but I think the build system improved a lot. In the past
I had to follow a > 30 lines guide specifying a special order of
subversions components to build and install, to sometimes use -j1, to call
various make targets, settings LD_LIBRARY_PATH in the middle of install, ...
But this time I skipped Python and Perl bindings.

A further problem: neon is not searched by default if no --with-neon flag is
given (but there is a output "configure: checking neon library"). Why doesn't
configure search for it by default? So I have no http access!

Only after playing with the neon test in configure I get:

"An appropriate version of neon could not be found, so libsvn_ra_neon
will not be built. If you want to build libsvn_ra_neon, please
install neon 0.29.0 on this system."

Do I need version 0.29.0? This isn't documented in INSTALL!

PS: Here is a small patch for INSTALL. autogen.sh is by default executable,
no need to do it again, right?
