How can a generic HTTPD module that affect the whole HTTPD live in
subversion's contrib?

Quoting from its README:
[[[
17 * What:
18 mod_setlocale is a minimalistic httpd module that sets the locale for *THE
19 ENTIRE* httpd process. This also sets the native encoding of mod_dav_svn
20 and in consequence eliminates all of above problems.
]]]

You are not calling it "mod_svn_setlocale" and that rings some bells for me.
