Well, the point is that it's trying to support the Solaris LDAP SDK, which is 
based on the ancient LDAPv2 API spec. If they're trying to use that, then they 
obviously can't leverage any OpenLDAP code.

I glazed over a bit reading his ldap_initialize() wrapper. The rest looked ok, 
but I'm suspicious of his #ifdef'ing standard options like LDAP_OPT_TIMELIMIT. 
Those should be supported on all LDAP APIs. The only things that ought to need 
ifdef'ing are options with "_X_" in their name as those are extensions that 
were never mentioned in any API spec (draft or otherwise).
