On Linux it links against the shared libraries of subversion, on windows
its linked statically against the subversion libraries.
Long answer: Whether or not RapidSVN can access earlier svn DAV servers
depends on the protocol changes. So if you are running a 0.30 svn server
RapidSVN probably will work. I tried updating with a svn 0.28 client
against a 0.33 server which failed. Dont forget: subversion is still
pre-1.0 so api changes still occur pretty often. Because of this its
hard to provide an abstraction layer, that can compile/work against
several version of subversion. This would be easier if we just called
the subversion executable (and I have to admit, I was tempted often to
change RapidSVN in such a way).
Short answer: just install RapidSVN and try it out. It should be easy to
go back to an earlier release.
