One important thing I didn't make clear: I propose these APIs go in "public" headers like svn_client.h, not in the "private" header files that are by default omitted from installation.
Stefan, does this make a difference to you? Do you still need to change TSVN build scripts at all for that case? And how will the warnings work out for you in that case? I'd really like to hear how this affects you so we can come to a satisfactory solution.
