so i've been making progress on the subversion ruby bindings... the client bindings build and even seem to work, and the working copy stuff is coming along (although there have been annoying changes to the svn libs since these were last touched that make some of the behaviour difficult to recreate).
i'm questioning whether i should even be working on this, since it might be more practical to contribute to the SWIG bindings, but we've already got these native bindings here, and i like working with native ruby bindings a hell of a lot more than i like working with SWIG (it gives me a headache to read it), so i think i'll work on these for now.
