Hi I personally would go with the openldap c stuff. Here is a little example program I wrote for work https://sourceforge.net/projects/ldaptest (use cvs) might give you some help.
Otherwise the source of ldapsearch is quite easy. But this of course would be openldap again. I don't know if the Mozilla project has a search tool but normally you can learn from the people who wrote the tools.
