Hmm, I see that now, but is quite heavy weight if this already exists in
many implementations natively, often at no cost at all. What if I
renamed the current ldap_pvt_*_rmutex_* functions to ldap_int_* and
deferred to them in the two implementations that can't do recursive
mutexes only?

This would be an ABI break for rmutex users, other than that, there
seems to be no expectation that two versions of libldap_r compiled
against a different thread implementation should be ABI compatible
already.
