Yes.  The next version of SVN::Web will support browsing remote 
repositories (i.e., repos that are can be accessed with http:// or 
svn:// URIs, as well as file:///).

One of the things I've done is use the Subversion libraries for diffing, 
  instead of Text::Diff and Text::Diff::HTML.  This is *much* faster, 
but means that I can only display a raw diff.

It's relatively easy to take the raw diff and convert it to HTML, but 
before I go that route I'm looking for a more general solution that can 
take text in various formats (obviously, one of them being diff) and 
convert them to marked up HTML.

Apache 1 or Apache 2?  What version of SVN::Web?  Is it 100% 
reproducible?  Does it affect all revisions, or just a subset of them? 
Does it happen with svnweb-server?
