[nssldap] release 0.4 of nss-ldapd

[Arthur de Jong <arthur [at] ch.tudelft.nl>]

Development of nss-ldapd, a fork from nss_ldap to try out some
structural design changes, is continuing. A new release (0.4) is
available for download here:
  http://ch.tudelft.nl/~arthur/nss-ldapd/

This release has another round of major code simplifications but also a
few feature removals. A number of structural changes to the core query
code were made to pave the way to implement a simple generic LDAP
wrapper library (that should hide reconnect logic/paging/and free()ing
returned values by the underlying LDAP library).

An interesting detail is that relative to nss_ldap-251 we have more than
50% code reduction (not really fair because some features were
temporarily dropped) and that performance of simple NSS lookups seem
much better (probably due to removed locking).

For more information and changes in this release, please see the URL
above. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
