/*
 * We can't use LDAP directly for these reasons:
 *
 * 1. The LDAP library is linked to separate crypto library like
 *    OpenSSL and even if it is linked to the library we use in dirmngr
 *    (ntbtls or gnutls) it is sometimes a different version of that
 *    library with all the surprising failures you may get due to this.
 *
 * 2. It is huge library in particular if TLS comes into play.  So
 *    problems with unfreed memory might turn up and we don't want
 *    this in a long running daemon.
 *
 * 3. There is no easy way for timeouts. In particular the timeout
 *    value does not work for DNS lookups (well, this is usual) and it
 *    seems not to work while loading a large attribute like a
 *    CRL. Having a separate process allows us to either tell the
 *    process to commit suicide or have our own housekepping function
 *    kill it after some time.  The latter also allows proper
 *    cancellation of a query at any point of time.
 *
 * 4. Given that we are going out to the network and usually get back
 *    a long response, the fork/exec overhead is acceptable.
 *
 * Note that under WindowsCE the number of processes is strongly
 * limited (32 processes including the kernel processes) and thus we
 * don't use the process approach but implement a different wrapper in
 * ldap-wrapper-ce.c.
