subversion-perl needs to be updated with current Perl (was: Re: Cannot install git-svn)

[Andrey Repin]

Greetings, Andrey Repin via Cygwin!

Trying to rebuild it myself.
After installing dependencies, the errors similar to

Libtool helper path not found (try setting the LIBTOOL_M4 environment variable)
  expected at: '/bin/../share/aclocal'

were fixed by setting some variables

LIBTOOL_CONFIG=/usr/share/libtool/build-aux
LIBTOOL_M4=/usr/share/aclocal
export LIBTOOL_CONFIG LIBTOOL_M4

But now, it can't find the installed BDB 5.3.28:

configure: error: Berkeley DB 4.0.14 or 5.x wasn't found.

Subversion mailing list suggests that BDB back-end is deprecated.
I've removed the `--with-berkeley-db` key from cygport file for now, but it
would probably be better to outright disable the support.

But now the error came at the end of building:

 undefined reference to `SWIG_snprintf'

The swig package is installed.
What could be wrong?
