openldap-client, libfetch and OpenSSL

[manu%netbsd.org@localhost (Emmanuel Dreyfus)]

Hi

I build openldap-client with PREFER_PKGSRC=openldap-client openssl
This produces libldap.so which links with pkgsrc's libcrypto.so, and
base system libfetch.so. The latter links with base system libcrypto.so.
Mixing two libcrypto.so in the same program leads to unpleasant crashes.

The patch below works around the problem, at the expense of linking
pkgsrc's libfetch.a into libldap.so. Is it admissible? I also encounter
the same libfetch problem in dovecot, therefore I suspect there is a
better approach.
