If you haven't seen it already we published a message on this over the weekend:
https://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/subversion-announce/201404.mbox/%3C5349F1B7.1090306%40apache.org%3E
Unfortunately I missed mentioning the state of Windows where it does fall back
and support CRLs (see Bert's reply to your message).
Unfortunately, the work around I had hoped last week would work for you ended
up not working out. Primarily because OpenSSL needs a flag set to even support
CRL checking at all and it's not set by default.
Wish we had a better option for you. But it looks like starting with a fresh
CA is probably your best option.
