If you're going to compile a third-party tool suite this way, it goes in
/opt, according to the FileSystem HIerarchy Starndard (
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/). Ignore this sort of standard at your own
risk.

In particular, stuffing these under "/Subversion/" will interfere with
SELinux configurations and potentially overwhelm a limited "/" partition.
Installing other packages this way  will compound the problem, as will mixed
case directory names.

Instead, consider using something like this:

./configure --prefix=/usr/local/subersion/1.6.15/
--with-neon=/usr/local/neon/0.29.5 --with-apr=/usr/local/apr/1.4.2
--with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr-util/1.3.10

and compile your components appropriately.
