http-ldap / util_ldap.h only working with threads enabled

Hi,

was just looking at http-ldap CVS checkout from yesterday and
httpd-2.0.39.

When compiling on FreeBSD threads are disabled by default in apache2
as stated in INSTALL.

compiling --with-ldap will fail because include/util_ldap.h uses
apr_thread_mutex_t but as APR_HAS_THREADS is defined 0
that struct (typedefed somewhere else) from
	srclib/apr/include/arch/unix/thread_mutex.h
is not known.

ldap-aaa and ldap-cache also seem to depend on threads.

My question now is:

a) ldap stuff should also work without threads ? so can someone who
   knows the code please have a look at and change it to also work
   without threads.

b) please check for threads in configure when you need
   them and do not allow the user to compile without; I am not
   talking about -lpthread, which will also be found on FreeBSD,
   but --{enable,disable}-threads.
   [ ok, this may be tricky within actual build framework but
     this should no longer be necessary if a) is done ;-) ]

Thanks in advance.
