OpenLDAP 2 support not yet there in CVS.

The most recent and complete OpenLDAP 2 patch I have is the one by
Steffen Ries <steffen.ries at sympatico.ca> who tried to come up with
something against CVS containing all the memory leak fixes applied,
Konstantin's patches, Stig's suggestions and his own STARTTLS
support. Not sure about the ufn* stuff though. I've built it against
OpenLDAP 2.0.16engineering from CVS. It works but still seg faults a
lot. Could be an issue with my local installation with OpenLDAP
1.2.13 hanging around in /usr/lib although
/usr/local/openldap2/lib/libldap.so.2 is used.

This patched module is used for running web2ldap's online-demo at
http://sites.inka.de:8002/web2ldap with Python 2.

Ciao, Michael.
