Hi.
why do you need to use mod_authz_ldap ?
Ldap is just used here as a repositary of your certificate , crl and so one.
Apache doesn't need to be linked to the LDAP unless you want people to
authentify against the ldap server.

i answered to some of your question in the body of your text

just the repositary stuff (OpenCA is working on its own internal berkley
database)
basicly it dosn't need LDAP but for greater compatibility with some End
Entity Client you'd better
find a way to make it work.

if you decided not to use LDAP
in the newest version (0.9+) the ldap admin page feature won't work
in the oldest version the link import to ldap features wont work neither

No you don't.....

just install LDAP as you want where you want and specify in the
configuration the LDAP directive wich are :
./configure  --with-ldap-host=your server \
 --with-ldap-port=389 \
 --with-ldap-root="cn=admin,dc=your server,c=FR" \
 --with-ldap-root-pwd="secret"
