Isn't the point, though, for APR to *SOLVE* such problems? If we aren't, I'm strongly +1 for removing ldap from apr-util; we simply bring next to no value to the end user because they are wired too closely to the stack, and we haven't abstacted it enough to justify even keeping it.
Er, Windows isn't the only platform supported by apr-util.The APR LDAP code goes to significant lengths to support a single unified API across something like *seven* different LDAP implementations across a wide set of platforms.
Despite the C API being a standard, support for extensions like SSL and LDAP options have resulted in 7 completely different implementations that work completely differently from the next. Coming up with a sensible common API was no mean feat.
The point behind APR is to solve these problems. Patches welcome. Regards, Graham --
