This is a documentation issue, not an issue with the software itself.

Not all of the pieces that are installed as part of a `make install' are needed
for a "LDAP client system" installation, and the same can be said for an "LDAP
server-only system".  I could not find any place in the documentation that
documents
what components should be considered "client-side" and what components are
needed
only on a "server".  This should be documented somewhere, so that people that
are
packaging binaries (via RPM or some other packaging system) can divide the
package
into a `server' component (or components, if necessary) and a client component
(or
components).

Note that I'm not saying that you need separate targets for `make client' and
`make
server' in the top level Makefile, though that wouldn't be a bad addition
either.
I'm fine with having the `make install' install everything, as long as there is
enough information so that the person doing the packaging can sort out what
pieces
should go in each package.
