This is part 1 of 3 proposed patches pertaining to ITS #6625 (aka draft-zeilenga-ldap-c-api-concurrency support) As discussed on openldap-devel@openldap.org, #6625 is to be split into 3 distinct patches.

This patch (#1) removes the SunOS 4 LWP threading API support from OpenLDAP.

SunOS4 LWP support has not been supported by Sun (now Oracle) in over a decade. Sun's records indicate the last patch was made to the SunOS 4.1.4 patch gate code base in 1999. The last major reelase was SunOS 4.1.3U in 1993, 4.1.1 in 1990, and SunOS 3.5 in 1988. There are known to be a small number of Solaris 2.6 and 2.7 systems still running, but Solaris 2.5.1 or earlier are statistically very rare. Side note, Sun stops providing any support for Solaris 2.7 on August 15, 2008.

Realistically speaking this code has likely not been in use in almost 10 years, so it's removal should have no negative effect.
