I was trying to include SASL because I thought that would be needed
to do secure authentication with AD. Not that I really understand
anything about SASL, I just naively expected it would be necessary
(and found that python-ldap on Windows without SASL wouldn't authenticate
to our Active Directory).
I ended up trying to build OpenLDAP and Berkeley DB from source
to so that python-ldap could use that, but failed miserably after
serveral hours of trying.
It would be really nice if python-ldap could just use the existing
OpenLDAP with SASL support on Tiger; I recall from the python-ldap
mailing list that this was do-able under Panther.

That looks promising...I've been playing around with Twisted at
my web hosting service...I will try building and installing on a Mac.
