The requirement for the defining this macro to use deprecated
interfaces is intended to ensure the programmer is aware they
are using a deprecated interface.  Some discussion of why
particular interfaces were deprecated may in the devel and/or
software list archives.

At present, the documentation in this area is quite lacking
(contributions welcomed, see below).  Basically, if you cannot
figure it out on your own (by examination of <ldap.h>, provided
client programs, man pages, software/devel list archives, FAQ,
other means), you should ask this list for help.

As you figure things out, feel free to contribute <ldap.h>
and/or documentation updates to help those who come after
you out.
