Promote a v1.6.x soonish would be good for me. I have a need to teach the ap_expr parser how to escape LDAP in order to support the ability to handle arbitrary expressions in both of httpd's "require ldap-filter" and a proposed "require ldap-search". Right now we support expressions in "require ldap-filter" but we don't have the ability to escape LDAP sequences, which limits the usefulness of the feature. mod_authnz_ldap had buried escaping in it that I missed when I tried to tease all the escaping code out of httpd, which was a pity.
