    Another way of approaching that is to say subversion is not-likely
    to be imported *unless* we can find an acceptable BSD-licensed
    database mgr to go along with it. (I do not know how much of
    Apache is needed. Would svn *clients* need to have apache
    installed, or is that only needed for machines that hold a
    public repository?)
