Hi,

ok, the configure.ac patch seems to work, and now the MingW32 autobuilds work again.
But what me still confuses is the CURL_LDAP_HYBRID:
from what I see it was not all the time there, but recently introduced here:
http://cool.haxx.se/cvs.cgi/curl/configure.ac.diff?r1=1.245&r2=1.246
and what I dont understand there is the check for wldap32; I think that the win32api is always there for Cygwin, but at least my Cygwin install has also OpenLDAP, so why should one prefer the win32api implementation with CURL_LDAP_HYBRID when you can do a clean build and depend on OpenLDAP?
Shouldnt the check be the other way, and first check if the OpenLDAP lib is present, and only use the win32api as last resort?

I did just a plain configure without any params with a fresh CVS checkout on Cygwin, and winldap stuff seems always used; here is my config.log + the resulting config.h:
http://www.gknw.net/test/curl/cygwin/

then I modified configure.ac to exclude Cygwin from the wldap32 check, and this resulted then in a binary which uses OpenLDAP instead which works fine so far.

Guen.
