nice! not sure we want to import all those libraries into the macosforge repo though, can we provide instructions/scripts to download them automatically from a canonical location ? (similarly to the macosx build dependencies on Libc/xnu sources)
Would some clever svn:external mechanism that allows you to refer to repositories from other repositories help in this case? Then we'd just need to create the reference under the compat/ directory and folks who checkout the whole tree would get all the bits. Is there a problem with that approach I'm missing?
