I don't know python at all, so I can't help you there. But if you send
your patch as it is to the Subversion dev list, explaining what it does
and what's missing, I'm sure someone there will pick up where you left
or at least help you out to get it right. You're not the only one who
wants to build Subversion with VC-Express :)

http://nant.sourceforge.net

the build scripts have the *.build extension. You can find the main file
in the TSVN root dir called 'default.build'. Then the script to build
the docs is in doc\doc.build (with a doc.build.include file), the wix
setup script is in src\TortoiseSVNSetup\setup.build, one in
ext\OpenSSL.build, and the one to build Subversion is in
ext\Subversion.build.

As soon as we have a Nant build script for the language pack installers
in place, I will remove our old bat scripts and use only Nant for the
build process. It's much more configurable and extendable than simple
bat scripts, and it also is more maintainable.

SubWCRev is in a subfolder in the sln file. So maybe instead of
/project:SubWCRev you need to pass /project:Utilities\SubWCRev ? Just a
guess...
