Actually I was thinking to pass a proper svn_error_t object. That means
revving the malfunction handler and the ASSERT/MALFUNCTION macros to add
an svn_error_t * parameter.

For this particular caller, though, having an apr_status_t (aka apr_err)
parameter to the malfunction handlers would suffice.

I see :-(

Is this for 1.7?

Okay.

Cool. I thought there might be a few more low-hanging fruits --- e.g.,
the svn_txdelta_* and svn_io_file_read_full2() work --- that can be
merged sooner.
