Hi Justin,

Everyone within the development "team" is really busy at the moment with finishing off tasks required for the 1.7 release.
So your mail not get the immediate attention you're after.

I am not an SVN developer - so unfortunately I am unable to assist you.

It's not meant personally towards you at all;
But you're not being able to compile SVN from source code - isn't that high on the priority list : In comparison, at least, to all the other work going on right at THIS time.
If anyone has the spare time to help you out, believe me, they would.

Might I suggest that you resend your mail to the @users mailing list - and see if you can get a reply there? Many users compile the binaries for themselves.
Also, do a search within the @dev and @users mailing lists for compiling on windows.

You're certainly not the first person to have issues with compiling SVN and all the required dependencies.

Gavin 'Beau' Baumanis.
