[ shrug... ] The message I quoted was from Bob Friesenhahn, who is
certainly a competent C programmer. If it took him half a day to
install SVN from scratch, I'm prepared to believe it's not trivial.
At the very least, I suggest you replicate the experiment before
asserting you know more about it than someone who's tried.
Perhaps he didn't read the instructions. See below for a 5 minutes 34
elapsed time. This includes extracting SVN over the network using SVN.
