I thought about that, but the SVN buildsystem is building & installing 
them like libraries not like DSOs (which should be linked with libtool's 
-module argument and not installed directly in $libdir), and there are 
symbols exposed in the headers like svn_auth_gnome_keyring_version().  
So it looks a bit weird if they are really not intended to be used as 
libraries?
