Ldap API documentation

Hi guys,

I have created a new manual for the Ldap API, as we will need one as 
soon as the LDAP-API will be out.

Here is a proposed structure for this manual, I probably forgot many 
items, so feel free to add or reorganize it :

1.Content
2. Introduction
   2.1 LDAP in a few words
   2.2 Java and LDAP
   2.3 The Apache LDAP API rational
   2.4 Preparation to code
3. LDAP data structures
   3.1 DN
   3.2 RDN
   3.3 Entry
   3.4 Messages
   3.5 Cursors
4. Basic LDAP usage
   4.1 Connection/Disconnection
   4.2 Binding/Unbinding
   4.3 Search operation
   4.4 Adding entries
   4.5 Deleting entries
   4.6 Modifying entries
   4.7 Moving and renaming entries
   4.8 Comparing entries
   4.9 Exception management
5. Advanced LDAP usage
   5.1 Controls
   5.2 Extended operations
   5.3 Referrals
   5.4 Aliases
   5.5 LDAP I/O : LDIF, DSML
   5.6 Abandoning an operation
   5.7 Server informations
6. Schema management
   6.1 Introduction
   6.2 ObjectClasses
   6.3 AttributeTypes
   6.4 Syntaxes
   6.5 MatchingRules
   6.6 NameForms
   6.7 DiT Structure Rules
   6.8 DIT Content Rules
   6.9 Matching Rule Uses
7. LDAP security

Thanks Emmanuel, this is a great start. I'm sure if we all start
filling in some parts it will fill out quickly.
