That would be great.  My biggest issue with OpenLDAP is that
there's no facility to use it with an event-based network model.
There's some internal function to get the file descriptor for a
connection, but you can't actually use it.  Ideally, such a
library would optionally let you do the event handling yourself
and just call API routines to process message chunks on each
event callback.
