ActiveLDAP is a wrapper on top of Ruby/LDAP. There is supposed to be
work later toward making ActiveLDAP work with Net::LDAP, but I don't
think that's started yet. Net::LDAP is pure Ruby, which means its
significantly more portable. IMO, Net::LDAP has the better LDAP API
than Ruby/LDAP (which mirrors the C API faithfully).
