compile python-ldap on macosx

[Jens Vagelpohl]

as far as compiling python-ldap goes, here is the outcome of a couple 
experiments i did yesterday. all were done with the current CVS HEAD:

- against self-compiled OpenLDAP 2.1.4 and self-compiled python 2.1.3: 
no problem.

- against built-in OpenLDAP and self-compiled python 2.1.3: no problem. 
i specified "/usr/lib" as library_dirs and "/usr/include" as 
include_dirs. libs was "ldap_r lber ssl crypto" (sasl did not compile - 
could not find sasl.h, even though OS X has the library itself).

- against built-in OpenLDAP and the built-in python 2.2: fails with the 
error message that started this whole thread. the _ldap.so shared 
module is not created because linking fails.

it seems that the culprit might be the built-in python2.2. the python 
build flags, i assume, govern the build flags used when compiling these 
extension modules.
