I'm in the midst of an avalanche of re-emerging packages, occasioned in part by
an update to the LDAP libraries.  I don't completely understand that because I
never turned on the LDAP USE-flag, but maybe some things just need it.

However, I'm annoyed that apache would not build because, it said,
dev-libs/apr-util
did not have LDAP support.  DUH!  Nothing new here.  I hadn't changed my mind
about LDAP, so why all of a sudden apache is getting touchy about LDAP?

I explicitly set apache to -ldap in packages.use, and it compiled okay.  B ut
I'm starting to wonder if that was sensible.  I only vaguely understand that
LDAP has to do with "directory" searches, but I don't know why I should care
about that in general, or about it in reference to apache.

So what do I need to know about this?
