The multithreading part is not there yet. It's a newish development in 
the main tree; I haven't got the time to do it now for the Win32 part. I 
hope it will get there in the next few weeks.

However, there is indeed a newer version under Win32, linked against 
OpenLDAP 2.0.23 instead of the old UMich libraries. It seems to work, 
but it's still in an experimental phase; if you wish to test it I may 
send the installer to you. Mind though that it's for Python 2.2.

You also need to have the SASL DLL on your path. I may provide that if 
necessary.
