Here is a new patch that replaces the previous one; it adds two
macros LDAP_LIBS_FE and LDAP_LIBS_BE for frontend and backend,
respectively.

I did not only add them to the Makefile for interfaces/libpq,
but also everywhere something is linked against libpq in case
somebody links static.
I don't know if that's necessary, or if static builds are
supported - if not, the changes to those Makefiles should
perhaps not be applied.

Tested on Linux, AIX and Windows.
