Remaining LDAP issues?
Starting a fresh thread to identify the actual issues that are blocking
the 2.3.13-beta, along with fresh checkouts and build trees...
I immediately noticed that it's confusing that --enable-authnz-ldap etc
don't work without --with-ldap. What configuration logic could make this
all easier for users who want ldap auth?

True.
I'm thinking of the generalized case where openldap (and, as you
point out, openssl) live in their usual system paths.
It seems like --enable-ssl could imply --with-ssl[noarg] and
--enable-authnz-ldap could imply --enable-ldap which could imply
--with-ldap[noarg].
It only tripped me because my old ./config never set apr flags, I had
built apr[-util] in that test framework out-of-tree. So perhaps my
surprise would be unusual for most users.

Well, we kind of have the same situation with SSL, don't
we. We use --with-ssl to point to the location of the SSL
libs and use --enable-ssl to enable mod_ssl.
