Build error with bundled apr-util and neon

After upgrading neon to 0.24.7 today, I found I could not build
Subversion on my RHEL 3 machine:

  make[2]: Entering directory `/me/svn/neon/src'
  /bin/sh ../libtool [stuff] /me/svn/apr-util/xml/expat/lib/libexpat.la
  libtool: link: cannot find the library `/me/svn/apr-util/xml/expat/lib/libexpat.la'

apr-util apparently did not build its internal expat because it found
a system one. The culprit seems to be a bad assumption in neon.m4:

          # If we have apr-util and it's bundled expat, we can point neon
          # there, otherwise, neon is on its own to find expat.
          if test -f "$abs_builddir/apr-util/xml/expat/lib/expat.h" ; then
            args="$args --with-expat='$abs_builddir/apr-util/xml/expat/lib/libexpat.la'"
          fi
          SVN_SUBDIR_CONFIG(neon, $args)

With neon 0.24.4, the same --with-expat option was passed in, but it
seemed to get ignored.

Any ideas on how we should fix this problem? We need a way of telling
not only if we have a bundled apr-util, but also that apr-util plans
to build its internal expat.
