The other dlls and exes seem to be valid. I'm using a Visual Studio sln file that was created by Visual Studio when I opened the from the apr.dsw file that came with the Subversion source zip file. My source is version 1.5.5.

I know nothing about building Subversion but you can't link against a
.dll. You must link against the import library (usually called .lib;
note however that for extra confusion, static libraries also have the
.lib suffix). Maybe pointing your linker to the .lib instead of the .dll
will fix your problem.
