That's exactly what I'm talking about changing. With the patch, BE's
LDAP library variant would also be controlled by that configure
switch, so it would always match the FE. Almost all users would
continue to choose libldap_r.so for the FE, so they'd start getting
that in the BE too (if they didn't already due to distro-supplied
symlinks). People using --disable-thread-safety would continue to get
libldap.so for FE and BE, as they do today.
