That sounds reasonably. Anyone that do recompile this could
try to run it without the ldap library installed. If it works
I'll try to use suggests: ... for theese libraries. I do not have
the time right now but maybe in a week or three. :)
If it works, I'll add the suggests line and recompile (I think I
can fix that much time).
