If the API is the same, we could just
     1. NOT change the dependency from 2.0 to 2.1
     2. but have configure print a warning/suggestion if you try to
        build with 2.0
     3. update our own evo-openldap package to 2.1
     4. (possibly move evo-openldap to a public channel so other people
        can use it?

AFAIK, no. The only reason they're currently static is that they used to
be uninstalled and used only by the wombat.
