FWIW, this is the runtime dependency list
apr-1.4.6.1.4.1_3              Apache Portability Library
expat-2.0.1_2                  XML 1.0 parser written in C
gettext-0.18.1.1               GNU gettext package
libiconv-1.14                  A character set conversion library
pkg-1.0.4_1                    New generation package manager
pkgconf-0.8.9                  Utility to help to configure compiler
and linker flags
serf-1.1.1                     Serf HTTP client library
sqlite3-3.7.14.1               An SQL database engine in a C library
subversion-1.7.8               Version control system

Doing a static link of the libsvn_* libraries into the binary doesn't
help with this.
