Well, knowing that there's no similar OS, yes, I confirm that this issue is
unique to Windows.

It's not strange, it's just how it works.
There's no such thing like "path to the libraries" as separate entity from
"path to the binaries", it all covered by %PATH% (and in fact, Windows dynamic
library is THE executable file... in it's base), unless you gonna mess with
AppPaths registry settings (this way, you can make it selectively aware of
every single file in your system, and probably even link one library to
different name - didn't tried).
For those interested - it is
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\App Paths
There's usually alot of examples, and it DO allow you to be a bit creative.

Yep.
"My computer" - properties, "Advanced" tab - "Environment variables" button
somewhere at the bottom.
Edit the system (bottom) section, append path to the SVN/bin directory to the
end of PATH variable. Then reboot system.
