Thank you for drawing my attention to that, I wasn't aware of it.
I'll definitely try to use the native winldap interface and try to
make my patch as compatible to yours as possible (configure
--with-ldap).

If your patch is accepted and a dependency on OpenLDAP is introduced,
my patch will provide an additional gain with no additional cost.
