Ebuild patch making the openldap dependency optional

It seems that it is possible to build sys-libs/ldb without net-nds/openldap.
In addition, samba seems to be able to work properly with this sys-libs/ldb[-ldap] version (seems to be working on my local server). If this work, samba[-ldap] could be build without requiring net-nds/openldap (which it currently does indirectly thought ldb). 

Attach an ebuild patch and a successful compilation run where you can read the following:
'''
Checking for library lber    : not found
Checking for library ldap    : not found
Checking for ber_flush       : not found
Checking for ldap_           : not found
Checking for ldap_initialize : not found
'''

I see that it was stated in #506448 that "Yes, it definitely does want to link the ldap module against liblber and libldap.". Could you explain that in more details? Thanks in advance!

I am wondering about the dep on net-nds/openldap too. I can build sys-libs/ldb-1.1.26 without openldap and samba (very important user of ldb) seems to work.
