Re: patch to compile with OpenLDAP 2.0.7

[Konstantin C. <Kon...@da...>]

Hello Jeffrey and all.

Attached are recent version of my patches, if you are interested. They
provide the following:

   * automatic recognition of OpenLDAP-1.2.x or OpenLDAP-2.0.x at compilation
     time, building different sets of Python LDAP constants and error
     exception objects for different OpenLDAP versions;
   * special tuples for continuation references: (None, [list_of_URLs]).
     Compare to normal entry tuples: (DN, {dict_of_attributes}). Both types
     of tuples can be returned from search methods;
   * new type of result type in the result method: SEARCH_REFERENCE.
   * a few new ldap object attributes, among them: referrals - disables (0)
     or enables (1) following referrals; is set to 1 after ldap object
     initialisation; version (2 or 3) - sets LDAP protocol version (default
     is 2).

Any comments/suggestions/fixes are welcome.


Regards,
    Konstantin.
