Having you try it out now would be great. I have a viable standalone
version on my dev machine. Scott is finding some problems so clearly
there is still work to be done in getting SVN at a state where it will
run on anyones machine. Having you test it, even if you can't fix it,
would be great feedback for us.

We are working in branches/standalone if you want to give it a go.
There is a readme that should get you started - although it probably
needs further explanation. We are here (although I'm in the air for
most of the next three days).
