Hi all,

I got this suggested patch from Emmanuel Dreyfus, but I'm rather lost in LDAP
land so I thought perhaps someone else could have a comment on his approach?

Subject: LDAP fix

Hi

I use libcurl 7.15.5 on NetBSD

I encountered a problem when using libcurl with LDAP URI. The damn thing
complained "a required function in the shared library was not found".

Doing some debug, I discovered that the missing function was ber_free.
The problem is that libcurl looks for it in libldap, while it is in
liblber.

The patch above fixed the problem. I have no idea if it is fine or not.
What do you think?
