I'll research - I'd added openldap on a mostly experimental basis for use
on unix,
it isn't included by default on either unix or win32. If one doesn't
rebuild openldap
against the current openssl, these system openldap's dependency on the
system
openssl collides against current httpd/apr-util's openssl. Thanks for the
pointer.

Yup, wldap32 may not be supported by APR, but is still the default, and the
respective CMake defaults for win32 continue to utilize this from apr-util
1.6.1
and httpd-2.4.x. At one point I had an openldap based fork but only took
that
as far as openldap 2.3.x before I'd set that aside and rebased on the
projects'
default choices for windows.
