I'm not so sure if it's important to maintain slapd non-threaded, but it 
would still be nice to see libldap and other client-side needs without 
threads. It's becoming rarely needed from a hardware perspective, but the 
OS ecosystem to match seems to lag (either in implementation timeline or 
implementation quality).
