There's no user-visible API for managing connections. I guess you'll 
have to define that yourself. Probably a good idea to split out the 
select/poll on the connection that is currently in ldap_pvt_connect() to 
its own function, and tie it into ber_sockbuf_ctrl 
LBER_SB_OPT_DATA_READY or something similar.
