Supporting OpenLDAP 2.5 or newer about ptlib

[willamowius]

I don't know of any application using the LDAP support in PTLib and I don't think it really belongs in there anyway.
Unless you have an application that needs it, I would tend depreciate it and stop building it by default if its causing any kind of issues.

Ah, I was looking at our ptlib port and noticed it had OpenLDAP as a dependency and with this recent patch added. Looking at the tree the only dependency I see using ptlib is h323plus.

[willamowius]

H.350 for which LDAP is used never really caught on so it would be fine to build PTLib without LDAP.
If you want to keep LDAP alive on OpenBSD, send a pull request for configure.in.

I think it makes more sense to disable the LDAP support if it's truely not being used. If it's a fork of PTlib just for H323Plus why not remove that bit?

[willamowius]

There is no gain in removing the code. We can let configure fail in the detection for now.

I disabled the OpenLDAP support in the ptlib port.
