That will work as well (GnuPG 1.0.8 has something similar), but I do
not want to make autoconf checks for lber.h as there are other ldap
libraries that could be used here, and I also did not want to
encourage people to use the old OpenLDAP.  If this becomes a problem
(it seems to be getting there), then I could reconsider.
