Serf 1.3.1 was not released until after SVN 1.8.1 came out. So pretty much
anyone's SVN 1.8.1 binaries would be using Serf 1.3.0 or earlier.

To answer the general question, while most SVN distros do happen to be
using the same versions of most of these dependencies they are nonetheless
absolutely dependent on the distro and what version they happen to have
used to build the distribution.
