That would be most helpful, Arco. And if you were to add it to the Source forge project, or some kind of Wiki, you'll probably get public feedback. I'm interested in trying it. I haven't used Subversion, yet. But after I gain some experience with it, I hope to contribute something besides words to the project.

Nathan,
No problem to write a little Howididit for that, but I'm not qualified to
say if that was the right way.
Installing an rpm or tar is not that difficult, but you have be careful to
not disturb other installs. Subversion has a few hands full of dependencies,
programs that need to be installed first, sometimes requirering a certain
minimum version. And there is some risk to run in conflicts. Like I did,
when I did not check that the APR (Apache Portable Runtime) already was
installed as part of the standard IBM installation. I overwrote with a newer
version and now have some conflicts to solve ;-)
However I will create a kind of howto for it, and then you can carefully
check what you want to install.
Regards,
