Literally main(). Setting up caching limits etc. is similar
to creating the apr root pool and limiting its allocator -
which is done inside main().
Also, this is clearly tool-specific as svn.exe seems to be
the only tool that would want to disable the membuffer
cache. A central function like svn_cmdline_init() would
be inappropriate.
