That is a 2.0 discussion not a 1.3 discussion. (and see msgid [EMAIL PROTECTED]) For 1.x, libaprutil must continue to contain functions which use symbols defined by the LDAP library; changing each function call into an indirected dynamic-symbol-lookup-and-function-call would be an unmaintainable hack. Since downstream users must also continue to be linked against those LDAP libraries by virtue of linking against libaprutil, it would also be a redundant hack. (same broadly goes for the XML & DBM interfaces) joe
