Awesome work! :-) But that just shows how complex a svn install of
Lazarus is... So lets hope a newbie never goes that path, but instead
uses some daily snapshot archive or a last stable released setup.

I know you went through a lot of trouble, but wouldn't it now be "cool",
to take all those steps, and put it in a single svn_install.bat file,
and maybe post in on a new wiki pages or something? That way, all your
troubles of sifting through the wiki (and yeah, I can't find anything in
the wiki either - just like the bug tracker) would not have been in vein.

I would probably opt out of the TortioseSVN, and rather use the standard
svn.exe command line client. Plus, why a reboot after installing
TortioseSVN? I don't need to reboot when installing svn.exe CLI client.
I guess I forgot what a pain it is to use Windows, and how Microsoft
loves people stare at the screen while Windows reboots again, and again,
and again, and again...... Linux spoils me to much - I reboot once every
6 months.
