Hmm, I don't want to start the windows box just for checking, so I'll
say: it may be that the svn executable was not in PATH, but I'm not
sure. Anyway under linux it shows up under the show external tools
dialog.

The only thing that I'd recommend: Let the user know why Subversion
support was disabled, i.e. if you get a "couldn't execute svn" or didn't
find svn binary let the user know that.
