The bundled neon library will not enable SSL unless --with-ssl is
passed in. This is in the subversion FAQ I think.
The bundled neon library will fail to build shared if GXX=yes is not
specified. On Panther, this was silently ignored. On Tiger, it fails
the build (last I checked).
--enable-shared=yes is just another hint to neon that it should build
shared. It may or may not be necessary in the presence of GXX=yes.
I'm not sure --with-zlib is required b/c configure may find it anyway
but it's explicitly listed in "./configure --help" so I thought I would
add it.

I'm sure that works too but I'd rather not rename my system-supplied
binaries if I don't have to.
As you can see, there are many ways to skin the cat. If something
doesn't build straight out of the box (e.g. ./configure), then lots of
people just whack on stuff until it works. I know I do. Cem and I
obviously used different approaches to solve the problem and both are
valid depending on what you need. If you don't need shared libaries,
then turn 'em off. If you want SSL, add "--with-ssl". It's just the
magic and pain that is autoconf. :-)
