Hello.

I did this already, since it looked logical to me.
It isn't simply about "please add ..." hakish things. If there would be
no objection, it is a nice move to have the SVN variable setting
mentioned in the man page for make.conf.

If it isn't opportune to have the user-path in the system's search path,
then a note should be droped into the manpage to inform the admin or
user to set the SVN variable properly.
