TortoiseSVN needs to integrate with windows explorer, so I can see
the admin install dependency, but the command line tools should
just be able to copy executables to an user specified directory.

I'm not sure they really should need admin rights, but I believe
the command line installer is currently setup to require them
for some reason.
