I too recently tried to create the build environment for TortoiseSVN. I had some teething problems that I've not yet reported but I've been interested to see that you've apparently not had those issues.
With respect to the libxml2 library, it seems to me that there are two issues. The first is trying to get a copy of the library that's currently being used. The second, as you've been discussing, is a replacement for the library that is now difficult to obtain. I have nothing to contribute to the latter. However, if others are also struggling to obtain a copy of the library, the trick I used was to use the Internet Archive Wayback Machine <https://web.archive.org/web/20210224123900/http:/users.skynet.be/sbi/libxml-python/binaries/libxml2-python-2.7.7.win32-py2.6.exe>. Using that, I found a copy of the library that's currently used for the build, even though the referenced web site is longer available. If anyone else is having difficulty getting the original library then this might help.
