Look into the examples in Demo/. Please provide more programming
examples if you feel the need for it. Support for LDAP with StartTLS
and LDAP over SSL is currently undocumented and needs testing
(especially things like certificate validation and using client
certs).

On Linux you check out recent version and build against recent
OpenLDAP 2 libs (IMHO should be 2.0.12+). There's currently not much
activity in the C wrapper part. Remember not to promise Win32
support to your customers at the moment (or hack OpenLDAP 2 libs
into DLLs yourself).

I'm currently rewriting pure-Python module ldif. Expect the API to
change.

Ciao, Michael.
