[Zope] ZLDAP 1.0b1

[Jeffrey P Shell]

The ZopeLDAP Product consists of two actual products in the same release:
ZLDAPConnection for managing connections to LDAP Servers and returning
Zope-ish Entry objects, and ZLDAP Filter Methods for querying LDAP Servers.
You can see a model of it online.
 
UserLDAP is similar to UserDb. It reads authentication information out of an
LDAP Server and has customizable ZLDAP Filter Methods for looking up users.
Adding/Editing/Deleting of users is not in this release. UserLDAP can make
use of SHA1 and CRYPT encoded passwords.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
ZopeLDAP requires David Leonard's ldapmodule, from
http://www.it.uq.edu.au/personal/leonard/dc-prj/ldapmodule/ and the compiled
module needs to be (naturally) in your PYTHONPATH (or in ZLDAPConnection/).

This is a still-early beta with little documentation.  The API, especially
as shown in the model, *should* remain frozen at this point.  All known
issues (and there are some) are in the README.txt file in the release.
