This is the home for XPCOM modules that implement LDAP functionality.

WARNING: This code is not quite ready for prime time, and has only
been built on Linux.  Once a bunch of build glue gets added, then
perhaps it will be reasonable to add this code to the general
SeaMonkeyAll checkout and builds.  Hopefully this won't take long; the
first four or five items in TODO.txt are the important ones.

What's Here
-----------
Right now, there is only the base component:

base/	
	Implements a wrapper around the LDAP C SDK, as well as support
	for ldap: URLs in the browser.  Written entirely in C++;
	theoretically only depends on necko, xpcom, nspr, and the LDAP
	C SDK.

In the not-too-distant future, other components are likely to appear,
including:

rdf/
	An RDF datasource, probably written in Javascript. 

tests/
	Some basic tests to help ensure that things don't break as
        development proceeds.

Building
--------
This requires various other pieces of infrastructure from the Mozilla
CVS tree.  See <http://www.mozilla.org/directory/xpcom.html>
for now.
