   Log message:
   Update "neon" package to version 0.29. Changes since version 0.28.5:
   * Interface changes:
     o none, API and ABI backwards-compatible with 0.28.x and 0.27.x
   * New interfaces and features:
     o added NTLM auth support for Unix builds (Kai Sommerfeld,
       Daniel Stenberg)
     o ne_auth.h: added NE_AUTH_GSSAPI and NE_AUTH_NTLM auth protocol codes
     o added ne_acl3744.h, updated WebDAV ACL support (Henrik Holst)
     o added built-in SOCKS v4/v4a/v5 support: ne_socket.h:ne_sock_proxy(),
       and ne_session.h:ne_session_socks_proxy()
     o added support for system-default proxies: ne_session_system_proxy(),
       implemented using libproxy where available
     o ne_session.h: added NE_SESSFLAG_EXPECT100 session flag,
       SSL verification failure bits extended by NE_SSL_BADCHAIN and
       NE_SSL_REVOKED, better handling of failures within the cert chain
       (thanks to Ludwig Nussel)
     o ne_socket.h: ne_sock_writev() (Julien Reichel), ne_sock_set_error(),
       ne_iaddr_raw(), ne_iaddr_parse()
     o ne_string.h: ne_buffer_qappend(), ne_strnqdup()
   * Deprecated interfaces:
     o ne_acl.h is obsoleted by ne_acl3744.h (but is still present)
     o obsolete feature "NE_FEATURE_SOCKS" now never marked present
   * Other changes:
     o fix handling of "stale" flag in RFC2069-style Digest auth challenge
     o ne_free() implemented as a function on Win32 (thanks to Helge Hess)
     o symbol versioning used for new symbols, where supported
     o ensure SSL connections are closed cleanly with OpenSSL
     o fix build with OpenSSL 1.0 beta
     o updated Polish (pl) translation (Arfrever Frehtes Taifersar Arahesis)
   * SECURITY (CVE-2009-2473): Fix "billion laughs" attack against expat;
     could allow a Denial of Service attack by a malicious server.
   * SECURITY (CVE-2009-2474): Fix handling of an embedded NUL byte in a
     certificate subject name; could allow an undetected MITM attack against
     an SSL server if a trusted CA issues such a cert.
