That matches what I see as well, and no there's no other mechanism to control
the LDAP auth. We just haven't implemented support for anything else.

Our project doesn't really work like that. We're just a large bunch of
individuals who like a good transfer library and we all work on and improve
things we want to work on - there's a ROADMAP document in the source tree with
ideas a few of us want to get done in the near term but there's no LDAP stuff
there. There's also a TODO document with ideas in the source tree, but it
doesn't mention a lot of LDAP details.

This said, feel free to join in and help us improve in this area! libcurl only
gets as good as we can make it.
