I was going to whip up a saslauthd-ldap port but can't currently find
time to do it.

On the other hand there is a new openldap version just released and
I would like to get the other parts of the patch committed. So I will
reverse the dependency to make sasl optional again and send a new pr updated
to openldap-2.1.19 over the weekend.
