   *) LDAP detection improvements: --with-ldap now supports library names 
      containing non-alphanumeric characters, such as libldap-2.4.so.  New
      option --with-lber can be used to override the default liblber name.
+     Fix a problem reporting the lber library from apu-N-config.
      [Jeff Trawick]
 
 Changes with APR-util 1.4.0
