Bug Description

Proposed patch does two things:

(a) Adds the --with-gssapi autoconf option necessary to
enable code in libraries/libldap/gssapi.c (i.e #define HAVE_GSSAPI).
This option was present in 2.4.16 from what I can tell but is not in the 2.4.18 code in
lucid.

(b) Makes guess_service_principal() more robust when trying
to determine what principal name to use (based on the hostname
or dns name) when binding to a server.

This should be backed out. Use cyrus-sasl for SASL/GSSAPI binds with OpenLDAP. It would be nice if folks would actually clear stuff with upstream instead of cluelessly hacking on the OpenLDAP source. There have been enough issues caused by this already with the debian and ubuntu folks over the years. At least the Debian developers finally got things cleaned up and work with upstream now. It'd be nice to see ubuntu do the same.

I'm trying[1] to back this out, but it will remove symbols from the library without bumping the soname. Our next chance is when openldap 2.5 comes out, which will likely bump the soname.
