Considering that the dump file out of svnadmin is probably 'portable' across 
platforms, and that the fossil pre-built binary for Mac is logically 64 bits, I 
moved the dump file to my MacBook Pro where I'm currently re-running the import.

So far it has imported past the point where it failed on Windows (did about 1/3 
of the revisions for now).

        $ fossil import --svn integral.fossil integral.dump
        Importing SVN revision: 6393

I'll report wether it went OK up the end or not and wether I seem to have 
issues using fossil (32 bits) on Windows on such a repository afterwards.
