I hadn't seen #2507 in my first two passes (searching "ldap" on
code.djangoproject.com brings up translations of authentication.txt
before #2507, so I never looked past the first page of results).
My needs are dead simple, so I'd rather just use it and move on. The
only reason I posted something new in the first place was because I
didn't realize other people were already working on the problem.
Sorry for the unnecessary traffic!
