No, you did not miss anything. They should be merged. And for good reasons. raw-sha1 is faster than nsldap. The key setup is a little different (not sure if better or not). raw-sha1 uses openmp, but the biggest gain is raw-sha1 uses SSEi_REVERSE_STEPS which also gains speed by skipping some work at the end of the hashing step. I see about 10% faster on my wimpy laptop for raw-sha1.
Should not be too hard to do. A change to prepare (possibly split), and it is done. The nsldap format label/name would simply go away however. The nsldap stuff would simply be 'part' of what is handled by raw-sha1.
Proper merging of functions like this would be a pretty good GSoC task, I think, along with identifying possible candidates (there probably are more of them).
