To do this, I need to remove apache-1.3 and install 2.0. However,
this machine supports an application through 1.3, and it'll take
time to debug the switchover.

If enough request it, I'll can probably find another machine
so support this, or move the application to apache 2.

Yes. The goal is to allow people to play with SVN for octave
to see if they like it. This install is not part of octave
development per se.
