Okay, so you are doing it? I already spend like 100 hours on this and it
is still not ready. To implement this you need to

- learn OpenSSL to understand what the TLS stuff in libldap is doing
- learn about the logic of those LBER sockbuf communications layer used
  in libldap at least so much that you understand what's going on in
  tls.c
- learn GnuTLS to make libldap support it
- be very sure you are not doing a mistake in porting as there is only
  one thing worse than no security: the false feeling of security

Waiting for your patches...

PS: The server side was updated to fix the bunch of release critical
bugs against the server side which is much more problematic than the
client side so far.
