Better LDAP integration

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It could be great to better integrate LDAP into mollify and to allow:
1. mapping between LDAP groups and permission modes
2. mapping between LDAP groups and mollify groups
3. update of the account on login (courriel, groups, permission mode)
4. auto creation of new accounts present in LDAP

I've some code running in my own installation implementing these new features. 
Note that while there is basically three possibilities to use groups with a 
LDAP (group as OU, groups defined as attributes of users and users defined as 
attributes of groups), my patch only supports the last option.

I think this could be a great addition into the code of mollify and I can join 
a patch I you want to base your work on mine.

Thanks!

Thanks for the input, I'd be glad to accept your patch, LDAP is not that 
familiar to me.

In version 2.2, different authentication modules are now in separate classes so 
they are easy implement.

LDAP is in class "backend/include/auth/AuthenticatorLDAP.class.php", so if 
anybody can provide better implementation for this class, please send it to me.
