SVNSERVE as service under Win2000?

Hi all out there!

Searching the archive I found that snvserve would not really run as 
service under Win2000 (yet), not even even with helper program 
XNET. However, the messages I found were some months old.

So my question if that has already changed. In v0.25 I could run 
svnserve in a DOS box, but it would not return to the prompt and 
could be terminated by CTRL-C only. This is OK for experimental 
but not daily use here.

Or would Apache generally be the server of choice for Windows 
systems?

TIA - God bless!

That would be quite great, Brandon. Dunno about *nix systems, but 
as Windows user I must admit a native server bundled with 
Subversion and not needing big setup of its own but optionally 
running transparently as service in the background would make 
things a lot easier. I had no difficulty to run svnserve in its own 
DOS box and then doing some svn commands in another, but 
setting up Apache as server for fool-proof everyday use with its 
bunch of own configuration gives me additional (mild) headache. 
Finally, I have to master *two* new apps *and* define toolbars in 
Homesite *and* teach co-workers using SVN/TortoiseSVN.

Well, I've been meaning to contribute a patch for running svnserve as a 
service.  Maybe this is my inspiration to get off my butt and do it.
