Thanks for splitting this out.
Let’s see what’s needed to set up a connection:

Links against libsvnclient-1. Good.
I assume the details of the Makefile are not important, since it is
probably going to be revamped in the style of the svn build system
anyway.

Why not static?

I tried googling for this SVN_HTTP_LIBRARY setting, but no
useful hints. I take it that this overrides the [global] http-library
setting from ~/.subversion/servers? Do other commands honor this
environment variable or just svndumpr?

I guess it’s water under the bridge now (from 5 years ago), but why do
clients have to do this themselves? It would not be so difficult for
libsvnclient to automatically set the admin dir according to whether
SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK is set or not, or at least to provide a single
function to call and do so.
But that is not the topic for the moment. I am tempted to suggest
checking SVN_ASP_DOT_NET_HACK unconditionally (i.e., on Unix, too),
just so the function is easier to scan. Or there could be a separate
set_appropriate_adm_dir function in svndumpr.c:
#if defined(WIN32) || ...
static svn_error_t *set_appropriate_adm_dir(...)
{
if (getenv...
...
}
#else
static svn_error_t *set_appropriate_adm_dir(...
{
return SVN_NO_ERROR;
}
#endif
Feel free to ignore me here. :)

Maybe comments would help, for the boolean arguments.

Might be more self-explanatory without this function, but that
is just nitpicking.

So: this is an expensive no-op.
Thanks for the pleasant reading.
