The dependency depends on how you configure Cyrus SASL.  Cyrus SASL
can use gdbm, ndbm, or BerkeleyDB.

Given that most everything is linked with SASL, LIBS would
work just as well.  However, the "real" solution is to detect
what SASL is wants, make sure it doesn't conflict with what
slapd wants, and (if necessary) add the appropriate flags.

For example, I just realized my cyrus was using the dbm interface
in FreeBSD3 libc (Berkeley DB 1.86+).  Luckily, Berkeley
DB 2.7.7 dbm interface is remapped onto other symbols.  Such
things scare me.

Of course, SASL could depend upon other libraries... most
of which we likely already pull in.
