Well I was able to install with mozilla enabled but I am unable to do the test case of importing the thunderbird address book. The reason is that it's not listed in my options when I do "other external data source" from the import wizard, it looks like this is a bug in Ubuntu which is discussed here, although it's status is unknown -- not even sure if it's been reported: <a href="http://ubuntu.5.n6.nabble.com/Libre-Office-and-Thunderbird-Addressbook-td1100175.html">http://ubuntu.5.n6.nabble.com/Libre-Office-and-Thunderbird-Addressbook-td1100175.html</a> So enabling mozilla basically does nothing for Ubuntu (or Ubuntu derived distributions).

It consists from the winldap.h header and wldap32.dll. The apis are slightly different in some functions, so sometimes a compatibility macros are needed, but it should be conceptually possible to use this instead of trying to suck openldap in.
