Thanks for calling me lazy ;-) I wasn't worried about the amount of work, I was looking ahead thinking about how distro x version y might need another check for some missing functions, and they would start adding up. There was a time when the ldap_*_ext functions didn't exist for example. This library has quite a long history.
All the more reason to check for the functions we are actually using. If there are more library variants to check for, it won't be manageable to only check for a function or two and then attempt to guess which other functions may or may not be defined.
