Definitely recompiling and changing compile time options. Sometimes also
changing code but mostly if the distro require some specific provisions.

Depends on your distro, but probably better to recompile the current client
and set the proper compile time option. See the message from Stefan

A keyring should be able to prompt for the password from the terminal, but
I have never used them. Subversion support a few different options.
I managed to improve Daniel Shahaf's tool to save the password, see
