The SVN_INTL_LIBS may have been specific to the windows build. But linking to libintl certainly isn't windows-specfific. And -lintl is being linked on Unix through LIBS, even though other libraries like libmagic are handled by flags like SVN_MAGIC_LIBS. In fact, no other library relies LIBS. > Does that mean build.conf & co. are not consistent? Sure it does; but > that's nothing new. I'd rather clean up these inconsistencies than pile up more hacks on top.
