I took a look a while ago when this first came up, but I'm totally
unfamiliar with neon, and the old api didn't appear to have a trivial
mapping to the new api.

If there was either an upgrade route from the old neon api to the new
neon api documented somewhere, or a sample substantive program that
successfully moved from old to new api to use as a reference change then
I could probably whack out the needed changes. 

The OOo neon using source is in ucb/source/ucp/webdav

and grep -r ne_ shows....

./UCBDeadPropertyValue.cxx:#include <neon/ne_xml.h>
./UCBDeadPropertyValue.cxx:    ne_xml_parser * parser = ne_xml_create();
./UCBDeadPropertyValue.cxx:        ne_xml_push_handler( parser,
./UCBDeadPropertyValue.cxx:        ne_xml_parse( parser,
rInData.getStr(), rInData.getLength() );
./UCBDeadPropertyValue.cxx:        success = !!ne_xml_valid( parser );
./UCBDeadPropertyValue.cxx:        ne_xml_destroy( parser );
