The old compat- package providing 2.2.x libraries survived from FC5 to
F8, I just wanted to continue with the tradition :). I will remove it
when everything works with openldap-2.4.

Compilation of big desktop things like kdebase and evolution is
something I want to avoid on my machine, even in mock. That's why I
asked appropriate maintainers to do so. Unfortunately koji does not
provide chain-build with --scratch option :(.

Of course, I will release it as soon as I am sure I do not seriously
break anything.
