RE: new dependency in 5.61TEST4

["Rob Nicholls" <robert () robnicholls co uk>]

I haven't had time to look into this properly, but I had issues compiling
nmap-update on Windows with Visual C++ 2010 because of the subversion
includes. IIRC I downloaded the subversion source and manually added the
include path in VC++, but then hit issues as subversion then looks for apr.h
that wasn't present (and the source I grabbed for apr didn't appear to have
apr.h). Do we need to provide some additional third party files to SVN or
list some extra dependencies for the Windows build?

Oops, the new dependency is intentional, but it was a little messed up.
The package shouldn't depend on subversion-devel, but on subversion, because
it only needs the runtime libraries. subversion-devel is only required for
building the RPM (and it automatically checked for like other libraries when
building from source). I just made the change in the RPM spec file.
