svn:// recipes depend on subversion-native. Having switched to the new
ubversion version, we've in a nasty position of it being hard to
ASSUME_PROVIDED with the API breakage.

Building subversion-native is a pain and delays the core part of the
build significantly. Switching to tarball recipes should improve our
build speed a lot.

So its mainly for performance reasons that we should do this.

My only question is whether we need to include the svn revision in the
tarball name?

Cheers,

Richard
