Subversion must have a very interesting interpretation of "correct".
If the location was correct it would work, or is my concept of
"correct" warped by my insistence on using logic :) ?

Yes, I think that is the proper solution. "make install-javahl" by
necessity should leaving things in a state where the JNI library will
load successfully by the Java runtime.

I'm copying the Subversion list. To recap...

I built Subversion 1.2.x on OS X. Did "make install" and make
"install-javahl". Both appeared to complete without any errors.
However, the Subclipse plugin is unable to load the javahl library,
presumably because various bits of native code are not in a place
accessible by the Java runtime. I interpret this as "make install-
javahl" not doing it's job adequately.
