Version 1.5.0
(17 Jun 2008, from /branches/1.5.x)
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/1.5.0

 pkgsrc changes:
  - Drop patch-{aa,ag,ah,ai,aj,ak}: applied upstream.
  - Drop part of patch-ad fixed upstream; only INSTALLDIRS=vendor left.
  - Dropped -lib from BUILD_TARGET of ruby/perl/python, not necessary
    for ages.
  - Add java-subversion package, but: Only tested with sun-jdk6-6.0.5;
