I couldn't get your packages installed last time I tried. I forget why 
exactly (i've done a lot of stuff since then).

I decided to start with a fresh install of Xebian and compile SVN, but 
that isn't working either. For some reason my qt includes are in a 
different place than where the configure and make files expect them to 
be, and it fails about halfway through. No amount of 
symlinking/copying/environment variables has managed to fix it. I'm 
going to try using your packages again and see how far I get this time.
