Hmm, what to do? I stripped the wrapping functions for ldap_open()
and ldap_init() from LDAPObject.c. Is anyone in favour of having
these wrapped directly?

I would rather vote for making ldap.initialize() more smart or
implement a smart separate function. E.g. trying to set the right
protocol version would be nice (try LDAPv3 first and correctly fall
back to LDAPv2).

Ciao, Michael.
