Hmm, I've checked in a much less complex implementation of 
LDAPObject.__setattr__() and LDAPObject.__getattr__().

But I'd really like to remove getattr() and setattr() in 
LDAPObject.c since it does not make sense to do this at the C 
level. But if I remove getattr() and setattr() the set_option() 
and get_option() method are also removed.

David, can you please enlighten me how the stuff in options.c 
works? It seems somewhat overly complex to me.

Ciao, Michael.
