Ah, okay, I'd thought this was the default for shared builds.
It looks like build.conf specifies $(NEON_LIBS) as a dependency of the
svn binary, which seems odd. That makes putting the ra_dav module in a
separate package a little pointless, since the neon dependency isn't
isolated.

Yes, exactly; otherwise you have to mess with LD_LIBRARY_PATH or
ld.so.conf etc.
