It seems the dichotomy between libldap and libldap_r is a relic from the bad old days of dcethreads / cmathreads when linking a threaded library into an otherwise non-threaded program would cause all sorts of strange and wonderful failures. Unless anyone knows of any current platform where this is unsafe, I think it's time we dropped this distinction, and just use libldap_r (until we get to writing a completely new C API).
That would be *great*. I'm wholeheartedly in favor.
