How can use it from python-ldap? python-ldap is mainly a wrapper around the
OpenLDAP client libs. Everything which can be done within C has to be exposed
in this wrapper module. I guess wrapper modules for other scripting languages
have the same requirements.

SASL params (SASL_CB_* in sasl.h) are usually passed to cyrus-sasl by a
call-back dictionary. But I guess it should be possible to set
SASL_CHANNEL_BINDING via ldap_set_option().

Puuh, I'm not really familiar with the C APIs as I did not write the C parts
of python-ldap...
