compiled ldap libs for win32/python 2.5

[David Leonard]

it might be possible to modify python-ldap to work with wldap32.dll and 
avoid openldap on win32.
(see 'references' at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367008.aspx)
mingw comes with a winldap.h, but I don't know how close it is to the 
one that comes from the official platform sdk headers.
python's distutils supports mingw, so this path looks quite attractive.
