Hmm.  I suspect the svndump-to-fastimport converter might be useful as
a sort of swiss army knife even after remote-svn moves on to use
the ra lib.  What would you think about putting a main() function to
build the standalone program under contrib/fast-import?

I can write a patch for it for next round if you like the idea.
