Why write your own DLAGENT for this?

It seems that the svn VCS client only supports specifying directories,
not individual files. But you can fetch individual files over https
directly from github.

Something like:

  source=(svn+https://github.com/freedict/fd-dictionaries/trunk/tools
          https://raw.githubusercontent.com/freedict/fd-dictionaries/master/Makefile)
