I think only handling ldap:// would be fine. I think it's actually
most important that we're consistent in what we support across the
Python and the C code.

startswith() is a terrible way of parsing URLs ;) The 'urlparse'
module (bundled with Python) in Python is probably better for parsing
the URL and extracting the scheme.
