When compiling neon-0.28.2 with "socks5" USE flag this error occurs :
checking for connect in -lsocks5... no
configure: error: could not find libsocks5 for SOCKS support
!!! ERROR in net-misc/neon-0.28.2:
!!! In econf at line 1928
!!! econf failed
No error with USE="-socks5"
Reproducible: Always
Same for net-misc/neon-0.28.1

Have ebuild replace socks5 by socks
The library name "socks5" is hardcoded in neon.m4, so there are only two viable
solutions: either have dante create a symlink to its lib, or change the library
name in the configure script. The latter avoids changes to other packages, so
that's the path I took.
Compiles cleanly here, haven't tested a socksified connection, though.
The hardcoded library name is still present in upstream SVN:
http://svn.webdav.org/repos/projects/neon/trunk/macros/neon.m4
I'll inform upstream about this issue, although they'll need a more elaborate
fix, checking for different library names to work with their libsocks5.so as
well.

> I'll inform upstream about this issue
Joe Orton, the neon maintainer, told me that the next version would not rely on
any external libraries for socks support. Therefore this issue here should only
affect neon-0.28.{1,2}, and corresponding patches as well as the dependency on
dante can be dropped with the next version bump.
