Thats not entirely true, we build our own APR/APR-UTIL under apache
source (not slackbuilds, there is no point, all boxes are same so we
build and scripted copy all working upgrades from our dev server) - we
have extra requirements so we dont use slacks httpd package, there is
no system apr/apr-util or ldap on this system, it was never installed,
yet ldd shows  it under svn, so has to be from ldap, and from memory
curl dragged in something similar too.
