>Description:
Installed Apache/SVN from pkgsrc.  Build & install work ok, but libiconv ought to be included among the dependencies somewhere (see below). Otherwise, there'll be no locale support for SVN clients run server-side, i.e. those clients will be unable to obey LC_CTYPE locale definitions and thus unable to deal with e.g. filenames with accented characters.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) Build and install Apache/SVN combo

2) Create SVN repository

3) On a Windows box (i.e. _not_ server-side), use TortoiseSVN or similar client to add/commit a new file to the repository that has at least one accented character (German umlauts äöü, French accented chars àéô...) in its name.

4) Server side: Export appropriate LC_CTYPE setting and call 'svnlook tree' on repository created in step 2).

5) Look at error message in httpd's error log, e.g.
   subversion/libsvn_subr/utf.c:211: (apr_err=22)
   svn: Safe data:
   "[... actual filename prefix deleted by author]"
   ... was followed by non-ascii byte 195.

   Non-ascii character detected (see above), and unable to convert to/from UTF-8
>Fix:
Make at least apr-util package dependent on a suitable version of libiconv. Not sure where to best introduce that dependency (i.e. apr-util, httpd, or subversion).
