*** List of things to-do in no particular order ***

General:
- Define common Python style license for all modules
- Support Python 3.2+

Modules/
- Specific support for more controls
  - VLV control
  - server-side sorting control
- Wrap libldif as faster drop-in replacement for module ldif?
- Extract response controls in SASL bind responses
- Attach response controls to LDAPError instances to deliver the
  controls to the calling application in case of an error
- Attach more useful information to LDAPError instances, e.g. the filter used
  when doing a search in case of ldap.FILTER_ERROR etc.

Lib/
- Unicode support for DNs, filter strings, etc. but not entry attributes!
(Everybody asking for the latter should check the mailing list archive first.)
- Caching of search requests for each LDAPObject instance
- LDIF parser for replication logs and change records

Tests/
- Clean up and finish the mess of small test scripts started.
- Create a test script that exercises everything with a server
  holding the BLITS test data set
