Re: vendor name - draft-ietf-ldapext-ldap-c-api-04.txt

I suggest the following change to resolve a couple of knits.
It reduces the requirements to to bare minimun needed to allow
applications to verify they have linked in what they compiled with.
It also explicitly allows for alternative version numbering schemes.

ldapai_vendor_version
	An implementation-specific version number which, in
	combination with ldapai_vendor_name, uniquely describes
	this version of the implementation.  The number MAY
	or MAY NOT relate to the any version number used elsewhere
	by the vendor.  The value SHOULD match the value of
	LDAP_VENDOR_VERSION described earier in this document.

	For vendors with software versions of the form X.Y, it is
	suggested a value of X*10000+Y and for the form X.Y.Z,
	(X*100+Y)+100+Z.  That is, 4.1 would be 40001 and
	4.1.2 would be 40102.   For dated releases, version number
	derived from the date such as 20000519.  Other schemes
	(or no scheme) may be used.

(with similiar changes to the earlier section also being updated).
