installing hot-backup.py from source

[Reagan Penner <re...@pmc-sierra.com>]

I am building Subversion 1.6.1 from source. I have Subversion built and 
am now trying to install the hot-backup.py program. I was sure that in 
previous releases that I ran make install-tools something to install 
hot-backup however, this does not work for me with the 1.6.1 release.

Is there a make option for building and installing the tools/backup 
folder? Or do we simply copy them over from the source tress into our 
installation tree?

thanks,
-reagan

I don't know if there is a make option as I have never used one 
(probably because building from sources under windows is a bear).

I copy the script, which is usually named hot-backup.py.in, and rename 
it. Then edit it to adjust the variables for svnlook and svnadmin so 
they point to the correct directory.

It doesn't have any external dependencies, other than python itself.
