Right now, I'm just working on the necessary C wrapping for the
standard LDAP API functions.  Later, I'll also add higher-level
operations such as ldap-get-attributes, or something like it, written
in Scheme.  (Some of the standard functions will also be written in
Scheme - e.g., ldap-sasl-bind-s is just a bit of wrapping around
ldap-sasl-bind and ldap-result.)  I don't want to do any more work in
C than I have to.  This will also make it easier for people who
already know the C API to start using the Scheme version.
