I forgot that you were running on Win 98. This may be a problem. It also
presents another problem too. The BDB backend doesn't work on Win 98
(check out http://subversion.tigris.org/project_faq.html#portability) for
the a little more information. That said, we have a new backend in 1.1
called 'fsfs'. So if you're going to try, make sure you use that
backend. You can create an fsfs repository by running:
  svnadmin create --fs-type fsfs name-of-repo

Let me know if that works, but looking at the documentation, it appears
that you the binaries need to be linked against another DLL. I don't
think our Win32 binaries are linked against that particular DLL. :-(
