Happens for me too. I investigated a bit and found that autoconf inserts a
literal \r, i.e. chr(13), into the generated configure, and that trips up
svn. It occurs at the definition of "ac_cr".

I've since always asked Benjamin regenerate configure, who seems to have
a setup where ac_cr isn't inserted into the generated file.

Four shall be the number of spaces thou shalt indent, and the number of thy
indenting shall be four. Eight shalt thou not indent, nor either indent thou
two, excepting that thou then proceed to four. Tabs are right out.
