...maybe we should submit FindSVN.cmake for inclusion as an official 
module? :-)

Although right now it relies on a major hack to split the apr-config 
arguments (see [1] and [2]) that will break if there are spaces in the 
paths (although this assumes that apr-config knows how to quote). I'm 
also not sure if it works on Windows, but I would guess that either it 
does or at least one of the following is true:
- Windows doesn't have apr in strange places
- There is no apr-config in which case what I added is simply skipped
