The C-Tests are currently working on Windows (except one test that is unable to find the svnserve binary, but I have an idea of how to fix it). I didn't make the Python tests running yet, but did some experiments with them and will add. Additionally there should be support to test different configurations (of FS libraries and other options). Also support running Httpd or svnserve for remote testing. Those options don't match with the CMake built-in testing system (CTest), so maybe there would be needed a Python script like win-tests.py, but specific for CMake. >> >> Any help on these items will be much appreciated. >> >> Finally, I am thinking about merging the branch into 'trunk' and >> continuing development and testing there.

I think this is nice to explain the build process on the website, because usually this is a place that a person who wants to submit a patch or to build Subversion from trunk themself starts from. Also I think it is nice to have a "modern" INSTALL at the website with "modern" CMake and might simply explain the complicated process of compiling for Windows. I can try it myself.
