I agree SVN isn’t all that complex, but I can’t seam to get past this step:
From the command line, change your working directory to _build/ and execute the command "php transport.core.php". This process will take an extended period of time (100 to 250 seconds likely), so be patient. (Note: on Mac Mini (1.66Ghz Intel Core Duo with 2GB RAM) running the Leopard development environment as outlined below, this only takes 5-10 seconds.)
I’m using Windows XP running XAMPP and RapidSVN as I had some issues with TortoiseSVN. If I can get past this part I should be good to go with just SVN.

There are two easy ways to do that one. If you have an editor with a built-in PHP engine (e.g. PhpED or Eclipse), you can just load _build/transport.core.php and click on "run." That’s what I do.
As an alternative, create a batch file with just this line in it (I call it build.bat):
c:\xampp\php\php transport.core.php
Put it in the _build directory and execute it. On Vista, I have to shell out to the command line, navigate to the _build directory and then execute it -- I don’t know why, but it doesn’t seem to work from Explorer (I could put it in the path and add a cd/xampp/hdtocs/mysite/_build at the top, but I’ve been too lazy to do it).
Note that you won’t see anything happening for some time. Early builds used to take about 1-2 minutes on my machine but for recent builds the command line version now takes about 9 minutes and doing it in PhpEd takes about 4 minutes. No idea why. You won’t see any output at all until it’s done.
It would probably be a good idea to add some output at the beginning: "Building . . . please be patient" and echoing a dot every now and then (I’ve put in that request on Jira).
