For the "thread-free" piece I might throw in http://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=blob;f=source3/include/tldap.h;h=cd502985698e2474025d9a70cd506da9bf4cf6af;hb=HEAD and http://git.samba.org/?p=samba.git;a=blob;f=source3/lib/tldap.c;h=fa56763a3358d608b804502f9a49a04a233bf46f;hb=HEAD It is really far from being complete and very much tied to Samba APIs like talloc and tevent, but the _send and _recv call model (multiple _recv calls for a search request) might provide an alternative API that I found pretty usable so far.
