SubversionEdge from collabnet is a pre-packaged solution that takes most of the effort out of setting up svn + http/https:  http://www.collab.net/products/subversion

You'll want to review this documentation:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.serverconfig.html

Why host the Subversion server on Windows? Since it is in a VM, nobody
should care except the person who manages the VM. Install Ubuntu or CentOS,
and go from there. Just a thought.

The free version *is* capable of verifying credentials against AD users and groups and as such "integrates" with it. You just have to enter your AD credentials into whatever SVN client you are using and ensure for safe storage. (tick for common builds like TortoiseSVN GUI and cli). The commercial feature "Integrated Windows Authentication" relates to a single-signon like automatic re-use of the credentials of the users logged into the machine.

I believe they only do httpd binaries?  I have not checked recently.

They do a specific subversion stack (linked above)

Not tried these.

Yes, and if you are willing to pay they do a commercial version that integrates with AD (I have not tried it, though).  It depends on your security requirements...
