Thanks. I know it is a hassle but we really have lots of users who don't 
keep with the latest software at all times and if we can avoid to make 
life harder for them, that's a good thing.

I think Dirk said he was still using the old one somewhere? Otherwise I 
can set something up.

Oh yes, I thought you wanted to have an application-side dependency. 
Having external links in SVN is possible but experience has shown that 
it almost always sucks (if the external repo is not reachable at the 
time you do a checkout, the checkout just aborts). So while copying in 
the source might not be the most elegant solution, it is certainly the 
most stable one!
