[Cross-posted to dev@subversion in case anyone there cares to comment).
My understanding is that svn doesn't install any bindings, not even
svnjavahl.  This means that anyone wanting to use them has to build them
- which is more than the average Win32 user (or even developer) expects.
It would be good if a basic set of bindings (say Java, Perl and python)
were installed if the installer detected that the appropriate tool was
also installed, but they're just starting to take an interest in taking
the bindings to the same level as the core.

Not sure about Python but in the case oer Perl the bindings must be
built against a binary compatable version of Perl.  Which generally
means the exact version you're running against.  Given that Windows
doesn't ship with Perl, I have no idea how we could ever ship a set of
Perl bindings without shipping a copy of Perl.  Which is never going to
happen.
