The deal is: if you are building from an svn checkout then you
are assumed to be a developer and so you need svn, svnversion, 
automake, autoconf to be available, not to mention tons of ugly
XML toolchain gunk if you want to build the documentation.

If you are building from a tarball you are assumed to be an end-user
and none of those things are required for the build; everything 
needed is baked into the tarball at tarball-creation ("make dist")
time.
