It wasn't explicitly mentioned, but instead of adding ssh-namespace.h
like hacks we could add local symbol versions to ldap shared libraries.
That would make impact on OpenLDAP from ports and its users minimal.
Binary could be linked against both OpenLDAP and ldap from base in case
when libbsdldap.so is indirect dependency used by another library from
base. That is not the case with libbsdxml.so
