actually on *nix (mac included), javahl only requires the svn libs,
which in turn have their own set of dependencies. the bdb dependency
really lives in libapr, javahl really has nothing to do with it.
a static javahl is a funny animal, it needs to be dlopen()able, but
also be statically linked to its dependencies, something which a few
people hav figured out to do, and none have gotten integrated into the
svn build.
To further complicate things, *nix javahl builds are currently broken
in rc2 due to a relink error on install.
Javahl is fun.

maybe, maybe not. basically the windows case is the simple(r) one. the
real problems are in the unix builds.
