Re: _ldap problem and current resolution. -- found api change

[Joe L. <jl...@op...>]

Sorry. I _will try_ to ascertain when this broke. I didn't mean to add 
the "not". Looking at the change log, it would appear that 2.0.12 is the 
likely culprit, as very extraneous files were removed. More 
specifically, one of the last lines is "Removed -lldap UFN search 
support".

Michael, does Python-LDAP expect this to be there? It might be in the 
headers still and so is included (since python-ldap is mostly an 
openldap 1.x beast).

Also, this could very well be my fault since I am not CVS-current. 
However, Christian has already attempted to build against such. Again, I 
suspect some lingering requirement/inclusion in the python-ldap code. 
Still searching..
