Still, I think it is a good idea to stick close to the C API. I like the names ldap_search_ext() and ldap_create_*_control(). Would it then make sense to have an ldap_create_control() function that would allow any OID for a control as well? Or if controls continue to be represented as arrays, ldap_create_*_control() functions might not even be needed. I would be happy to see and test any code for this.
