I agree that we should have an OpenLDAP port; but I think
it should be separate from the existing ldap-3.3 port.  If
we call the new one openldap, or open-ldap, we should probably
rename the old one to umich-ldap.  OTOH, it might be nice to
keep them together in the directory listing; which would lead
to ldap-open and ldap-umich.
