Log:
This is an alternative approach to connect to LDAP servers. I had problems
understanding the OpenLDAP client libraries, so I tried to implement that
protocol myself. The central routines are ldap_encode and ldap_decode that
convert a struct ldap_message to a byte stream and vice versa. You are free to
deliver that to the LDAP server in any way you want, including non-blocking
network calls.

For an example how to use the API see utils/net_ads.c, routine
net_ads_test.c. This certainly does not belong there, but this is HEAD, isn't
it? ;-)

P.S: Not being able to figure out how to do async requests reliably with
OpenLDAP libs was my incentive to do this....
