It's not actually relevant whether or not I can give examples of apps which
break if the .la file is removed.  The point is that doing so breaks an
interface which is defined upstream (`neon-config --la-file`).  It is a golden
rule of packaging that you do not break interfaces defined upstream.

But, examples I know of: Subversion, which uses --la-file to link against neon,
and I think also the static build of RPM (at least upstream), which IIRC on
libtool resolving dependencies via the .la file -- exactly what .la files are
designed for.
