Subversion autoinstaller

[broder]

For a while I've had this idea of turning Apache into a FastCGI server, that gets invoked by going to some URL on a parent Apache. This would allow users to run Apache under their own UID with an arbitrary configuration, without putting it on a separate port and worrying about how to make it persistent over server restarts. For example, they could enable mod_dav_svn and host a Subversion repo that way. It would be the ultimate manifestation of the scripts philosophy that you should be able to install and configure whatever the hell you want.
