      3.  autoconf 2.59 or newer (Unix only)

      This is required only if you plan to build from the latest source
      (see section II.B). Generally only developers would be doing this.


      4.  libtool 1.4 or newer (Unix only)

      This is required only if you plan to build from the latest source
      (see section II.B).

      Note: Some systems (Solaris, for example) require libtool 1.4.3 or
      newer. The autogen.sh script knows about that.


      5.  Serf library 1.2.1 or newer (OPTIONAL)

      If you want your client to be able to speak to an Apache
      server (via a http:// or https:// URL), you must link against
      serf.  Though optional, we strongly recommend this.

      In order to use ra_serf, you must install serf, and run Subversion's
      ./configure with the argument --with-serf.  If serf is installed in a
      non-standard place, you should use

               --with-serf=/path/to/serf/install

      instead.

      Serf can be obtained via your system's package distribution
      system or directly from http://code.google.com/p/serf/.

      For more information on serf and Subversion's ra_serf, see the file
      subversion/libsvn_ra_serf/README.

      6. OpenSSL  (OPTIONAL)

      ### needs some updates. I think serf automagically handles
      ### finding OpenSSL, but we may need more docco here. and w.r.t
      ### zlib.

      The Serf library has support for SSL encryption by relying on the
      OpenSSL library.

        a. Using OpenSSL on the client through Serf

          On Unix systems, to build Serf with OpenSSL, you need OpenSSL
          installed on your system, and you must add "--with-ssl" as a
          "./configure" parameter.  If your OpenSSL installation is hard
          for Serf to find, you may need to use "--with-libs=/path/to/lib"
          in addition.  In particular, on Red Hat (but not Fedora Core) it
          is necessary to specify "--with-libs=/usr/kerberos" for OpenSSL
          to be found.  You can also specify a path to the zlib library
          using "--with-libs".

          Under Windows, you can specify the paths to these libraries by
          passing the options --with-zlib and --with-openssl to gen-make.py.

            ### Is that right? In-tree build of Neon was disabled in r875974.
                This may now apply to Serf, or else gen-make.py should be
                updated to remove such options.

        c. Using OpenSSL on the Apache server

          You can also add support for these features to an Apache httpd
          server to be used for Subversion using the same support libraries.
          The Subversion build system will not provide them, however.  You
          add them by specifying parameters to the "./configure" script of
          the Apache Server instead.

          For getting SSL on your server, you would add the "--enable-ssl"
          or "--with-ssl=/path/to/lib" option to Apache's "./configure"
          script.  Apache enables zlib support by default, but you can
          specify a nonstandard location for the library with the
          "--with-z=/path/to/dir" option.  Consult the Apache documentation
          for more details, and for other modules you may wish to install
          to enhance your Subversion server.

      If you don't already have it, you can get a copy of OpenSSL,
      including instructions for building and packaging on both Unix
      systems and Windows, at:

          http://www.openssl.org/


      7.  Berkeley DB 4.X  (OPTIONAL)

      Berkeley DB is needed to build a Subversion server that supports
      the BDB repository filesystem, or to access a BDB repository on
      local disk.  If you will only use the FSFS repository filesystem,
      or if you are building a Subversion client that will only speak
      to remote (networked) repositories, you don't need it.

      The current recommended version is 4.4.20 or newer, which brings
      auto-recovery functionality to the Berkeley DB database
      environment.

      If you must use an older version of Berkeley DB, we *strongly*
      recommend using 4.3 or 4.2 over the 4.1 or 4.0 versions.  Not
      only are these significantly faster and more stable, but they
      also enable Subversion repositories to automatically clean up
      database journal files to save disk space.

      You'll need Berkeley DB installed on your system.  You can
      get it from:

      http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/berkeley-db/index.html

      If you have Berkeley DB installed in a place not searched by default
      for includes and libraries, add something like this:

          --with-berkeley-db=db.h:/usr/local/include/db4.7:/usr/local/lib/db4.7:db-4.7

      to your `configure' switches, and the build process will use the
      Berkeley DB header and library in the named directories.  You may
      need to use a different path, of course.  Note that in order for
      the detection to succeed, the dynamic linker must be able to find
      the libraries at configure time.

      If you are on the Windows platform and want to build Subversion,
      a precompiled version of the Berkeley DB library is available for
