Subversion 1.5.1 still needs libneon.la !!?

I have tried to compile from sources Subversion 1.5.1 on openSuSE 11.0 64
bits. Make fails because cannot find libneon.la library. I quick search
revealed that libneon.la was removed from neon package and subversion should
remove this dependency. I have downloaded again from subversion site the
sources of 1.5.1 but this dependency is still required. When a new release
will be available without this dependency?
