AFAICT, for all Windows packages that include Apache, the admin
has to run an MSI.

  http://subversion.apache.org/packages.html#windows

Is that what you're asking about?

It is rather trivial to do this for plain svnserve, but is this also possible for svn+ssh and mod_svn?

Have a look at win-tests.py:

  https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/subversion/trunk/win-tests.py?view=markup

It can configure, start, and stop svnserve or Apache. SSH and SSL
configuration isn't included.
