I really apreciate your recent work on the libcurl LDAP support; I will
aso check asap how situation is now with building OpenLDAP client with
MingW32 MSYS and cross, and with Novell NetWare LIBC / CLIB. Since
you're a core developer of OpenLDAP I hope I can get some support from
you if I struggle, and also can get any resulting fixes / makefiles for
NetWare into main source distro. I've not yet checked latest OpenLDAP
sources but are there meanwhile nmakefiles or project files with the
source to build with MSVC compilers?
Oh, and just another thingy: how about adding support for DER format for
certs with OpenLDAP?

thanks, Günter.
