Yes.

That's the latest that I know of.  I'm not aware of anything later.  I 
think there might be a couple of patches in bugzilla that might have 
made it to HEAD.

Not that I know of.  I think jpackage.org has 4.17 or 4.18, which are 
the versions included with various versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, 
Fedora, and some other linux distros.  That's also the version we 
include with the Red Hat (ex-Netscape) server products.

I have no idea.  It's likely they have the version numbers wrong - afaik 
there is nothing else out there.

The main problem is that we don't have anyone with the time and Java 
expertise to maintain this package.  I would really love it if someone 
were to take over this package (it needs some lovin') and possibly merge 
it with the OpenLDAP JLDAP work contributed by Novell.
