Unfortunately, it's not yet time to merge back into the trunk, as it
represents the last phase of development, and is still being worked on.
I could have just waited until it was time to merge, but I decided the
chances that I would forget about it were too great. Oh well, if I
didn't make mistakes, I wouldn't have any to learn from. As far as
svnperms.py goes: since we are hosting on a windows server, python must
first be installed, which has to be approved by MIS. I'm just using the
authz method added in 1.3 for now.
