I glanced over ldap_simple_bind_s() of
openldap-HEAD/ldap/libraries/libldap/sbind.c. It just looks like a
simple wrapper around ldap_sasl_bind_s() (see below). Hmm, we could
do the same in ldapobject.c once ldap_sasl_bind() is wrapped.

I'm also very much in favour of looking into how to use OpenLDAP 2's
libldap_r to check if we could build a thread-safe python-ldap C
wrapper. A global thread lock is sometimes annoying (e.g. if
ldap.open()/initialize() takes very long). Anyone willing to do
this? Another advantage of a very short LDAPObject.c is that these
kind of jobs get easier.

Ciao, Michael.
