It is possible to pass '--without-PACKAGE' to subversion configure script and
it works as intended. I missed it, sorry for the noise. I got confused with the
output in config.log, for example if we say '--without-neon', the configure
script says something like this:

<snip>
configure: checking neon library

An appropriate version of neon could not be found, so libsvn_ra_neon
will not be built. If you want to build libsvn_ra_neon, please either
install neon 0.28.1 on this system

or

get neon 0.28.1 from:
     http://www.webdav.org/neon/neon-0.28.1.tar.gz
unpack the archive using tar/gunzip and rename the resulting
directory from ./neon-0.28.1/ to ./neon/

no suitable neon found
</snip>

Which is the same output returned when we did not have neon installed in the
box. May be something like this would help

<snip>
configure: checking neon library

configure without neon
</snip>

Similar thing happens for serf also.
<snip>
configure: serf library configuration
checking serf.h usability... no
checking serf.h presence... no
checking for serf.h... no
</snip>

Here something like this would be better
<snip>
configure: serf library configuration

configure without serf
</snip>

Thank You.
