           Summary: devel/arcanist: arc does not work with svnlite

When installing devel/arcanist on a machine that only has svnlite, the "arc"
command-line tool does not work because it assumes that svn (with that name) is
available in the path.

If svnlite is sufficient for arcanist to work (which is what I'm not sure
about) and is provided by the base system, then we should just explicitly use
this binary in the tool and forget about svn proper.

If patching the sources is too complicated or undesired, we could make the
devel/arcanist package create a symlink under lib/php/arcanist/svn that points
to the svn version to use, and then patch the "arc" tool to override the PATH
at startup to point first to that location.  This way, the code changes would
be minimal.
