The way we used to fix these issues in the past was using a bit of C code
to fill in the gaps of python support, but I currently lack the time to
implement this. (We had this problem with wc-ng in the past). I'd rather
see a green build with a few skips than no change when new regressions are
introduced. (Perhaps we should mark it XFail on the condition though)
I'm currently not able to fix this issue on the Windows buildbots as in all
distributions I know Python 2.7.x is build with its own SQLite, which is
not new enough. I would have to build my own python, or jump to python 3.x,
which most likely breaks on all legacy Subversion versions as I don't think
anybody on Windows tests with Python 3.x yet.
