  i missed this fix and neither i'm seeing it mentioned in the curl's
changelog. however removing libldap2-dev from my system still makes
curl --version print about the ldap support, so something definitely
changed here.

i CCed the upstream developer to delve into the thing.

Daniel, could you please enlighten me? thank you.

cheers
