Note that mozldap follows the Mozilla library naming conventions that are used
by NSPR and NSS which have been in Fedora for a while now (e.g. libnspr4.so,
libnss3.so, etc.).  So, unless there are plans to also convert those libraries
to the proper naming convention, I think it suffices to stick with
libldap60.so.6.0.0.  It should not be a big deal to put the proper so name in
the shared libraries, so that the main package will have 
libldap60.so.6.0.0
and the devel package will have
libldap60.so
