release 0.7.7 of nss-pam-ldapd

[Arthur de Jong <arthur [at] arthurdejong.org>]

Release 0.7.7 of nss-pam-ldapd has just been made available which
includes some new features and improvements. This should be a reasonably
stable and well tested release.

A summary of the changes since 0.7.6:
* refactoring and simplification of PAM module which also improves
  logging
* implement a nullok PAM option and disable empty passwords by default
* portability improvements and other minor code improvements
* the mechanism to disable name lookups through LDAP from within the
  nslcd process has been improved
* the undocumented use_sasl option has been removed (specifying
  sasl_mech now implies use_sasl)
* the sasl_mech, sasl_realm, sasl_authcid, sasl_authzid and
  sasl_secprops configuration options are now documented
* Debian packaging improvements
