release 0.8.11 of nss-pam-ldapd

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

This is an update for the 0.8 series that includes a few bug fixes and
new features. This should be a reasonably stable and well tested
release.

A summary of the changes since 0.8.10:

* add a pam_password_prohibit_message option to deny password changes
  (thanks to Ted Cheng)
* add a sasl_canonicalize option to allow disabling of hostname
  canonicalisation in OpenLDAP
* have the nslcd daemon load the nslcd user's supplementary groups to
  have more flexibility with assigning group permissions
* fix logic error when falling back to getting ranged attribute values
  for possibly binary attributes (thanks scan-build)
* fix a problem when storing a negative hit in the dn2uid cache (thanks
  scan-build)
* use poll() instead of select() for checking file descriptor activity
  to also correctly work if more than FD_SETSIZE files are already open
  (thanks Adrien Urban)
* small portability improvements
* improve support for using Netscape LDAP libraries
* improvements and fixes to the Solaris NSS code
* grow all search filter buffers to 4096 bytes
* some improvements to the pynslcd implementation
* add an LDIF version of the ldapns.schema file
