This came up several months ago, I understand there were some issues
with the SVN Perl bindings.  Cc-ing interested parties.

I think it needs to take into account the config from
SVN::Core::config_get_config, otherwise people with non-standard SVN
configurations could get locked out.  I seem to recall this was the
broken part in the SVN Perl bindings, but one of the Cc-ed parties would
know for sure.
