FWIW while updating this config I noticed that we have --with-ldap on
HEAD and 8.2, but not the other branches; and --with-xml only in HEAD
and 8.3 but not the other branches.  I assume this is from the stock
config file (snippets below).

It seems to me that the BF stuff should have some operator to specify
"any branch newer than X".


# ldap support is new as of 8.2
if ($branch eq 'HEAD' || $branch ge 'REL8_2')
{
        # msvc can set it up separately - see above

        push(@{$conf{config_opts}},"--with-ldap")
                unless $conf{using_msvc};
}

# libxml/libxslt support as of 8.3
if ($branch eq 'HEAD' || $branch ge 'REL8_3')
{
        # msvc can set it up separately - see above

        push(@{$conf{config_opts}},"--with-libxml", "--with-libxslt")
                unless $conf{using_msvc};
}
