Building with https support

The --enable-ssl configuration option is not documented by --help.
Also, perhaps the build system should default to trying to build with
https support?

Shall I raise an issue in Bugzilla?

Because of U.S. cryptographic export laws, neon isn't allowed to depend 
on or build against openssl by default.

--with-ssl is NOT a Subversion specific option.
It's not even a Subversion option AT ALL.

It is a neon option.

That said, given the common user confusion, I will add a note about it to 
the configure help - but observe that this is an extremely unusual 
occurrence - one package documenting another's configure parameters.

No idea, ask the neon project.

Sure - but as other Subversion specific build options are in configure
why not --with-ssl.

Also, why not enable by default?

No, but it is described in INSTALL.
