Are you positively sure that's impossible to #ifdef the differences?
As far as I'm concerned, I'd rather like the idea of linking against
iPlanet/Mozilla/Netscape etc. who are the guys that brought out LDAP in
the first place.
Just a matter of personal taste ;-)

BTW, I had promised I'd look into the Win32 support (which means most of
all compiling OpenLDAP on Win32), and I still mean to try though I
haven't had a chance yet.
