+1 on wrapping it all in 2.0, but I don't think the versioning

apr-util LDAP API in that case).
Be aware that there is a one line change to most applications who want apr-1.3.x to provide that binding for them (so they can use the symbols privately). Simply, this would just no longer be the default. I think that's a healthy thing since this affects < 10% of applications that consume apr-util, and of the others, they would be better off linking ldap only for specific components, e.g. mod_ldap/mod_authnz_ldap.
