Re: PerLDAP compat

[<fo...@mi...>]

I think adding the required methods to ldaplib (the python part) is
pretty easy. i'll do if there is enough request. i just committed
(well, i am commiting...) some code for schema support. nothing really
working but if you want to give it a look, try the schema_test.py
script (michael?)...
