I did, but I didn't find it ... but seems I didn't look in the right
place :-). That's what I get for all those late night (or should I say
early morning) test runs ...

It's in ./<configuration>/tools/server-side/. Good.

Thanks for the tips. I'll do it that way next time (until now I
installed the modules manually and started httpd manually).

For now, I just added the missing piece of config to my httpd.conf
[1], and reran authz#28. It passed.

So I can now simply state that all tests passed :-).

Thanks.

[1] Perhaps it's worth adding something about the needed piece of
httpd config to /subversion/tests/cmdline/README (that's where I
originally found how to configure httpd for testing)? Though that file
seems to be somewhat out of date already. Anyway, putting it there
would make it "less hidden inside win-tests.py".

Also, while setting this up I was a bit surprised that the
configuration file 'dontdothat' is not created in the same way as the
'authz' file. For me, because I don't start win-tests.py with
--httpd-dir (yet), the 'dontdothat' file isn't put automatically in
the svn-test-work directory (unlike the 'authz' file, which is always
installed there). For now, I just created the file manually somewhere
else, and used that in my httpd.conf.
