The basic code for svn_delta_editor_t is in libsvn_delta. eg.
default_editor, cancellation editor, etc. Plus svndiff and xdelta.
Some other bits, probably.

We use the delta editor in libsvn_repos (the dir_deltas stuff). The
editor drive is then marshalled into (eg.) the update report response.
IOW, libsvn_delta is already used on both client and server.

(forgot about libsvn_diff)
