In case my previous message on this did not get through, I would also
like the LDAP instructions. I tried to install OpenLDAP + Openssl +
Cyrus-sasl + BerkeleyDB from scratch and was exceptionally
unsuccessful. make test fails with version error for OpenLDAP. I have
a school moving to a permanent site in Sept, and wanted to get this
piece in place for the school.
