/*
   We can't use LDAP directly for these reasons:

   1. On some systems the LDAP library uses (indirectly) pthreads and
      that is not compatible with PTh.

   2. It is huge library in particular if TLS comes into play.  So
      problems with unfreed memory might turn up and we don't want
      this in a long running daemon.

   3. There is no easy way for timeouts. In particular the timeout
      value does not work for DNS lookups (well, this is usual) and it
      seems not to work while loading a large attribute like a
      CRL. Having a separate process allows us to either tell the
      process to commit suicide or have our own housekepping function
      kill it after some time.  The latter also allows proper
      cancellation of a query at any point of time.

   4. Given that we are going out to the network and usually get back
      a long response, the fork/exec overhead is acceptable.

   Note that under WindowsCE the number of processes is strongly
   limited (32 processes including the kernel processes) and thus we
   don't use the process approach but implement a different wrapper in
   ldap-wrapper-ce.c.
