+"""This is a special package because it contains (or will contain, as of now)
+two parallel implementations of the same code. One implementation, the original,
+uses the SWIG Python bindings. That's great, but those leak RAM and have a few
+other quirks. There are new, up-and-coming ctypes bindings for Subversion which
+look more promising, and are portible backwards to 1.4's libraries. The goal is
+to have this file automatically contain the "best" available implementation
+without the user having to configure what is actually present.
