[CMake] subversion

[Marcel Loose]

Hi Andreas,

I think the FindSubversion module predates CMake 2.8, which introduced
"message(WARNING ...)". I think a warning would be better than an error
in this case; and I think the same argument holds for Subversion_WC_LOG,
which also generates an error if invoked from a non-working copy.

Cheers,
Marcel Loose.
