I perfectly agree with this. If we have neon 0.23 working with subversion
1.5/1.6 (with all the features required from neon) then we need to have some
mechanism which says neon 0.23 or greater is supported. We should not restrict
the user by saying the supported versions of neon are 0.xx, 0.xy only, ie.,
restricting the user with 0.27 and 0.28 or something like that. IMHO, this
helps the user to compile subversion with whatever old dependencies they have
(of course which works well).
Thank You.
