Sorry, I should have mentioned... I'm a long-time Subversion user, 
built it from source and running it on my laptop... and I thought I 
built it with swig (for Trac) but maybe not (since I never did get Trac 
running... haven't had a chance to get back to that yet!)... anyway 
yeah, I'll check out my Subversion build and make sure it's up to 
snuff...

My Perl is 5.8.1... that's not too ancient, is it?  IIRC I have 
upgraded it w.r.t. the OS X distribution (probably, again, for Trac)...
