On Linux you can just use symbol versioning and have just a
'libldap.so.2'.  Many of these problems are because of ancient unixes

necessary to reasonably maintain a system.

As I understand it the problem here is quite simple- libtool sucks and
is busted and can't handle that.  If libtool could handle it that'd
certainly be nicer.
