...or, if he can wait for SVN 1.5, use svnserve and authenticate against
Cyrus-SASL:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#sv
n.serverconfig.svnserve.sasl
"SASL comes with a number of pluggable modules that represent different
authentication systems: Kerberos (GSSAPI), NTLM, One-Time-Passwords
(OTP), DIGEST-MD5, LDAP, Secure-Remote-Password (SRP), and others."
