Catone, thanks for submitting a patch, but I think it is a bad solution,
for at least two reasons.

First, it's an Ubuntu-specific hack as a conditional. I think it
unlikely to be merged upstream. If it's not going to be merged upstream,
we do not need the conditional.

If we remove the conditional, the second problem becomes apparent. This
patch makes neon-config lie. When provided the --la-file option, that
would print the location of a .so file.

There are really only two sensible ways to go forward:

 1. Include the .la file in the Ubuntu package of libneon. Why is it
even removed in the first place?

 2. Trick question. There's actually only sensible solution that will
fix the "cannot build upstream tarballs".
