True. I'm thinking of the generalized case where openldap (and, as you point out, openssl) live in their usual system paths. It seems like --enable-ssl could imply --with-ssl[noarg] and --enable-authnz-ldap could imply --enable-ldap which could imply --with-ldap[noarg]. It only tripped me because my old ./config never set apr flags, I had built apr[-util] in that test framework out-of-tree. So perhaps my surprise would be unusual for most users.
