LDAP module not v3 compliant

[GoogleCodeExporter]

From reporter:
The LDAP connector of Classilla Mail is outdated and not LDAPv3 compliant.
It is not possible to connect to modern mail systems like Zimbra which uses
OpenLDAP 2.4.
Thanks a lot for your hard work!

From reporter: 1.7 should implement this, so we might look at backporting the 
LDAP
support from that version. The problem is QA, since I don't use LDAP locally.

I'll be glad to help out with testing, but I do not know how to code or compile.

(Guessing blindly:) There's a library called LDAPClient.shlb inside the 
"Essentials
Files" directory, Mozilla 1.7 does not have anything similar. Just these:
libldap50.dylib, libprldap50.dylib, libmozldap.dylib, mozldap.xpt

Thank you very much!

The names don't matter. The Classic Mac OS uses only CFM shlbs, not Darwin 
dylibs.
The code should still be adaptable in some form and would be compiled into the
LDAPClient.shlb like before (assuming I can, in fact, adapt it, but the code 
does not
look particularly system-specific on first blush).
