Aaaagh! If you look at a file with 1 author, you won't see the different
authors come up in different colours. Let me quote from the manual:

  When you hover the mouse over a line in the blame info column,
  all lines with the same revision are shown with a darker
  background. (That's what you are seeing)

  Lines from other revisions which were changed by the same author
  are shown with a light background. (You missed this bit)

  If you left click on a line, all lines with the same revision
  are highlighted, and lines from other revisions by the same
  author are highlighted in a lighter colour.

Try looking at a file with multiple authors, like
tortoisesvn/doc/source/en/tsvn_preface.xml.

No, but it is then less obvious why the colouring is different.

Correct. You can only build TBlame and SubWCRev without the full
toolkit.

... but my programming skills are not, well not in Windows anyway :-(
That's why I have only looked at the simple (pure C) parts rather than
the GUI which is not my area of expertise.
