Solaris 8 & python_ldap for Zope/Python

[Joe Little]

Robert, as an addendum, the Solaris 8 libs aren't the netscape libs (Sun 
has their own working code base). So, alternatively, you could use the 
netscape libraries or the mozilla versions if the OpenLDAP ones do not 
work. Michael is correct in that any logs of the builds will help out 
list readers.

to the rest: yeah, I'm back in action, and happy to see a lot of list 
traffic of late in positive directions. It looks like I may get to focus 
most of my energies on Zope since the effort on the OpenLDAP 2.x stuff 
is progressing nicely. One note: I'm hoping to resolve darwin/MacOSX 
dynamic library issues since Zope folks seem to like MacOSX.
