+TODO: This file
+
+ldadp is an LDAP to Active Directory Proxy.
+
+Actually it's more of a translator between LDAP schemes,
+presenting an LDAP scheme to Unix/Linux clients suitable
+for authentication via pam and nsswitch using an Active
+Directory server as the data source (which already speaks
+LDAP, but doesn't supply mandatory fields for the Unix
+world, like uidNumber, loginShell, homeDirectory etc.)
+
+LDAP and ASN1 related parser/formatter etc. taken from
+tinyldap[1] by Felix von Leitner.
