Well, SVN is distributed as a source distribution and doesn't include
the Neon dependency. Therefore in case of SVN it's nothing which would
violate the LPGL.
When it comes to using Neon in your own app you just have to comply with
the LPGL license (for instance you'll have to provide means for others
to use ur app with a different/customized version of Neon - see the
license for details).
Under which license you distribute ur app is then a separate question.
You just have to make sure you comply to all the licenses 3rd party
software you are using in ur app is licensed with.
The other part of ur question I guess is better answered by s/o else.

Stefan
