Which WebSVN, you mean the one you see at http://svn.gobolinux.org?
That's not a Dreamhost default -- I installed that. (AFAIK Dreamhost's
service by default only shows the plain directory tree.) That one is
faster than ViewVC (after some serious tweaks I made to its code,
stripping some unneeded functionality along the way) but lacks some
other desired functionality that WebSVN does not have (I for one find
walking through revisions/diffs more comfortable in ViewVC). Well,
since things are already working, I don't plan to work on this any
further. That comment was more a heads-up for people to know that
there's a ViewVC option available for browsing the tools repo.

I suppose backporting won't be a very trivial task... Easiest approach
is probably to run a diff between the release and the trunk and read
that, I guess?
