What is the status of the new Mozilla LDAP 6 libraries?

> Imported Interfaces:
> 
>    Mozilla DS6 C-SDK  ldap client API
>       Directory Server C-SDK (LDAP client's C-API) is described
>       by RFC 1823 IETF document. It provides set of library calls

Jiri and I have already had an extended discussion on whether Solaris 
should be providing an updated libldap. Currently we have modified (aka 
hacked) Mozilla LDAP 5 (libldap.so.5), we'd like to move to standard 
Mozilla LDAP 6 (libldap.so.6) but the work isn't funded at present.

Is this private to Samba? If not, how do we support other consumers of 
this interface?

>    DS 6 C-API depend on other external interfaces also provided by Mozilla:

>       Homepage of the project is:

>       Bundled in solaris by the:
>       SUNWtls package

Any necessity to update our NSS versions? Current version is 3.12.x, see:

   6821612 NSS 3.12.x series
   <http://monaco.sfbay/detail.jsf?cr=6821612>

I couldn't find an explicit ARC for that change, WSARC 2007/548 is the 
closest I got.
