Well, I see it more likely that automake stuff on mac sets $(LIBLDAP) to
"-framework LDAP" and everywhere else it's "-lldap".  If that gets
passed to libtool, it gets put in the .la as a dependency right?

I tried, with the current libtool, to pass things as -Wl,* for framework
flags, but it still ends up messing everything up, so I would consider
it a bug, really...

But if 1.6 is coming soon, I guess it doesn't matter much.  Whatever you
call it, it would be nice to see it make the Real World soon.  Without
it, I can't finish my Qt/Mac KDE port.  ;)
