This is the reason you need to use a third-party brute-forcing utility like expect to kludge plaintext passwords into things: It's a subtle message, writ in mile-high flashing neon, that doing so is an extremely bad idea. As you've independently discovered.

neon-config
NEON-CONFIG(1) neon API reference NEON-CONFIG(1)
NAME
neon-config - script providing information about installed copy of neon library
SYNOPSIS
neon-config [--prefix] [[--cflags] | [--libs] | [--la-file] | [--support feature] | [--help] | [--version]]
DESCRIPTION
The neon-config script provides information about an installed copy of the neon library. The --cflags and --libs options instruct how to
compile and link an application against the library; the --version and --support options can help determine whether the library meets the
applications requirements.
OPTIONS
--cflags
Print the flags which should be passed to the C compiler when compiling object files, when the object files use neon header files.
--libs
Print the flags which should be passed to the linker when linking an application which uses the neon library
--la-file
Print the location of the libtool library script, libneon.la, which can be used to link against neon by applications using libtool.
--version
Print the version of the library
--prefix dir
If dir is given; relocate output of --cflags and --libs as if neon was installed in given prefix directory. Otherwise, print the
installation prefix of the library.
--support feature
The script exits with success if feature is supported by the library.
--help
Print help message; includes list of known features and whether they are supported or not.
EXAMPLE
Below is a Makefile fragment which could be used to build an application against an installed neon library, when the neon-config script can
be found in $PATH.
CFLAGS = `neon-config --cflags`
LIBS = `neon-config --libs`
OBJECTS = myapp.o
TARGET = myapp
$(TARGET): $(OBJECTS)
$(CC) $(LDFLAGS) -o $(TARGET) $(OBJECTS) $(LIBS)
myapp.o: myapp.c
$(CC) $(CFLAGS) -c myapp.c -o myapp.o
