saslauthd won't care what OpenLDAP is linked against.  saslauthd talks to some 
mechanism like PAM.

Wow, I didn't even know saslauthd could have internal LDAP support (cool!), but 
then I'm not the builder of the packages.  But PAM still seems a better way as 
it lets you add time of day restrictions, etc...
