Two things.

1) It implements Emacs 22's version of ldap-search and
   ldap-search-internal from ldap.el for use of Gnus in Emacs 21.3. The
   changes are made to achieve compatibility with OpenLDAP v2 and to
   make it possible to retrieve LDAP attributes that are tagged ie
   ";binary".

2) It adds a compatibility layer for Xemacs because the ldap-search in
   Emacs and in Xemacs returns its results differently.


Kind regards,
