Just to bring a bit of closure here, so far my testing with the Python 3 
bindings has been really encouraging.  Once I wrapped my brain around the whole 
string/bytestring thing, upgrading existing consumers of the bindings has thus 
far been relatively straightforward.

As for the Docker-based release process stuff I attached in my previous 
message, I've since thrown that onto Github so anyone else who cares can 
benefit from/improve it.  See https://github.com/cmpilato/subversion-dist .

Thanks again for the tarball assembly help!

I'm attaching what I used to make this work, which is a Docker-based process. 
Just expand the tarball, enter the resulting directory, and run 
./docker-build.sh.

This was the key thing lacking!  When I added the SWIG_PY_OPTS stuff you 
recommended to the release.py command-line, those files generated as expected.  
(And I wound up with what appears to be working build, including Python3 
bindings.)
