If the tools built from OpenLDAP sources depend on a specific library version
(I assume they do) then one would have to use another path prefix when
installing them.

Hmm, in the long run I'd like to see a single liblmdb being installed with the
accompanying tools system-wide just like the BDB libs/tools. I understand that
this would limit the freedom of developing/shipping an OpenLDAP-specific
"fork" in the OpenLDAP sources.

Ciao, Michael.
