I buy that argument: PADL.com's nss_ldap and pam_ldap should probably
reference the same configuration file, which should be separate from
OpenLDAP's configuration file.

If I can talk the pam_ldap port maintainer (Hi, Marcus!) into renaming
the pam_ldap configuration file to, say, `${PREFIX}/etc/padl.conf', then
I'll do likewise for nss_ldap.

${PREFIX}/etc/ldap.conf and ${PREFIX}/etc/openldap/ldap.conf seem too
close for comfort IMHO.
