strawberry perl subversion bindings

Hi, I'm attempting to build SVK using latest strawberry perl. It has an
external dependency on subversion perl bindings, and I'm encountering
issues.

After hours of trying, I was unable to get a working installation - the
strawberry perl site does not seem to provide source code, and the
binary bundles do not provide perl headers/libs required to build perl
bindings. The only documentation on the site points to an outdated svk
wiki page which suggests using pre-built bindings from
subversion.tigris.org. But the subversion project stopped providing
bindings after being acquired and migrated to apache. They do link to
third-party sites, but the only one that provides bindings does so for a
single visual studio activeperl build, which has compatibility issues
with strawberry perl (judging from all the test errors I get).

Strawberry perl's cpan also attempts to build its own bindigs by trying
to install Alien-SVN, however it fails because 1) it tries to run a .sh
script and a configure script, 2) it's not standalone and still requires
a lot of prerequisite crap, 3) refuses to build against sqlite and 4)
even if it did, there's still no perl headers/libs to build against.

So I'm asking - could strawberry perl provide these bindings for every
strawberry perl release, either bundled, or as a separate install?
