No, of course not, I guess. But the alternative to using all the internal
libraries, is installing all required libraries in the right versions
required on the system, and then doing --with-system-foo for all of them.
(Or just for the libs we are getting issues with, like openldap in this
case. But that seems like such an ugly hack. ) I just thought it would be
an easier build if you used all the internal libs. Perhaps I was wrong ;)
