Problems importing _ldap module

[Joe Little]

This is getting interesting

Looks like LDAPObject.c in the Modules directory explicitly call ufn_* 
and these are in turn relied upon by the URL functions. I'm currently 
undergoing surgery on the code, removing the ugly bits AND hoping that 
it will still be functional.

This is not CVS.. just my latest edition.
