FWIW, we have nss and mozilla in the build and apparently due to some
historical reasons where we just had mozilla it seems that the
long-time-ago split into nss and mozilla left some baggage behind where
the perfectly correctly built nss libs didn't make their way into the
install if the moz build was disabled (!).

423479cd751e6fe7436237890240b6c9674dec5d hopefully fixed up all that
(fingers crossed)

If you manage to get
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=51004 sorted out then I
think we could stuff in openldap as a replacement for the (obscure?)
ldap backend and then remove the entire mozilla module without losing
any existing functionality.

Though, maybe we should try and go ahead and see if we can build
openldap under windows and drop the mozab stuff (which all Linux distros
do for yonks) and reenable it if the alternative implementation appears.
