OK. That is a pretty powerful argument, and my rereading of the RFCs 
reveals that there is about zero wiggle room on this precise point. 
However, for us this is an experimental feature on top of an 
experimental feature (ldapi itself), and in that light I propose to do 
the following:

1. #ifdef WITH_AUTOBIND the auto bind code
2. not #define WITH_AUTOBIND
3. offer no configure mechanism for turning on autobind

This allows experimenters to do their experimenting but requires an 
unusual step (in an autotools world) on the part of builders to add the 
feature, and it will not appear in the binary builds of FDS offered for 
download.
