That project hasn't had much activity since its inception in 2002. It looks
pretty dead.

Also, it looks unnecessary. You don't need to install any special server on a
Windows box to sync accounts to it from a foreign LDAP server. All you need
is regular LDAP operations, and a mapping from your LDAP server's schema to
the Microsoft schema.

Both of those releases are fairly old. They are probably compatible to each
other, but you should probably check the CHANGES file to be sure.
