_ldap problem and current resolution. -- found api change

[Konstantin Chuguev]

Hi All,

A small update on what I'm doing:
I have merged Steffen Ries's and my patches and built python-ldap with
OpenLDAP-2.0.15. I then installed web2ldap-0.9.5 to do some tests.
For what I need it, it works fine. But there still may be problems in other
areas.

I think it's OK to commit the patches to the current branch of CVS. Your
suggestions?

And, yes, as there are no ldap_ufn_* functions in OpenLDAP-2.x, they are made
conditional (#if LDAP_API_VERSION < 2000) in the patches.
The other known issue is the ldap_rebind_proc callback function, which
incompatible in OpenLDAP-1.x and 2.x (both arguments, result and behaviour).
This requires more study.

Regards,
    Konstantin.
