So AFAICS the only remaining piece is APR (and svn itself), and I suspect that if only the bits required for a svn client were brought in (assuming the licence is deemed acceptable) that would be a lot smaller than a full APR build. (Again, this would need to be built as libbsdapr to avoid conflicts with real APR from ports.) Ben
