That version of the svnbook is very old. Google likes to turn it up at
the top of its hits, but I hope you're looking at a modern version for
writing your program.

If you want to use that FindAPRUtil module, you can drop it in your
CMake modules directory (alongside the dozens of other Find*.cmake files
in your CMake installation). You can also put it somewhere else and set
CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH so that CMake can find it.

If you are the author of that FindAPRUtil, you can try to get it
officially included into CMake. Look here:

Again, to me it looks like FindSubversion is for *using* Subversion, not
for building it. As such, setting up include paths and link libraries is
not appropriate in that module.

I'm not aware of a CMake Find module that helps with building
Subversion, but I've never looked for one.
