Thanks, that gave me some more insight.
Running depends.exe on svn.exe reports two missing dependencies: MSVCR90D.DLL and DWMAPI.DLL.

* MSVCR90D.DLL: I presume this is because I compiled for "debug". I'll try compiling again this evening, with a "release" compile. I quickly fetched it from www.dll-files.com just to see what would happen. That seemed to fix that missing dependency.
* DWMAPI.DLL: some googling gave me some pointers (like http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/vclanguage/thread/bc7a7414-6564-40bb-b8d2-af86345f2bc2). It seems to be because on this pc I have IE7. On the build machine I had IE8, some maybe that's why it linked against that dll (that I don't have installed here).

That last one is not easily solved I think. I wouldn't like to downgrade IE on my build machine (my personal laptop), just to compile svn. OTOH, the target pc is my work pc, where I don't have control over the installed IE version.

Apart from missing modules, it also complains about modules with "unresolved import due to a missing export function in a delay-load dependent module" in SHLWAPI.DLL and MPR.DLL.

Mmmmm, getting slightly depressed again with these setbacks. How does one create a decent windows binary that isn't as fragile? Maybe someone can give me some hints on setting up a good environment for the build machine?
