I noticed that OpenSSL 1.1 now has an explicit dependency on Pthreads.
Which means that now even our "non-threaded" libldap, when built with
OpenSSL, must actually be linked with the threads library. In this age of
multicore processors, is it really important to have a single-threaded
LDAP library any more? Should we just make libldap_r become the standard
library?

Using libldap_r as the standard library has been the default with manydownstream linux distributions for years, so I think that's reasonable (andwell tested at this point).
