Hello all, I can confirm that Neon use to be built automatically by Subversion without specifying --with-neon if the Neon sources were within the Subversion sources directory. As of 1.7.0, this is no longer the case and I am now having to manually build/install Neon and then use the --with-neon configure flag. It's not a big deal but I too was surprised by this.
