[Building Sakai] Quick Subversion OSX Install Note

[Steve Swinsburg]

Hi all,

I've never needed MacPorts for anything OS X related, the precompiled  
binaries work fine (for both Subversion and Git). It seems we are  
really pushing MacPorts in that article. When this came up on list  
before I thought we decided we would try to make things easier by  
pushing the binaries mostly? It gets a bit skipped in the flow.

The original issue that Charlie reported was a PATH issue with the  
version of subversion that is installed in OSX being loaded as the  
default because the location for the new one was added to the PATH  
before the system one. This goes for other systems as well, that ship  
with older or multiple versions of libraries.

Snow Leopard also includes Subversion 1.6.2 :)

cheers,
Steve
