Yes, you missed something.  ;)  Older SVN versions don't support the --xml 
option to "svn info".

(And a second something, which is that the current code will also work 
correctly if somebody gives a tarball of an SVN checkout to someone else to 
work on, even if they don't have an SVN client installed, or they have one 
but it's not on the current PATH, as might be the case with say, a Windows 
SVN client under Cygwin or a Cygwin client under Windows.)

Also, the changes I made to setuptools in SVN will now detect when the 
"entries" format changes again, and issue warnings instead of bombing with 
an error.
