Uhm... LDAP info for customers...?! Why not just find a system, commit 
someone to modifying it, and then patch each release as necessary? 
Shouldn't be incredibly difficult for PHP/CGI based systems based on the 
fact that a lot of stuff LDAP related can be relayed through CGI at 
least, and I'm sure through PHP as well.
