openldap tls/ssl and windows SDK

Hi list,
 
I'm wondering if there's any advantage of using openldap over TLS instead of openldap over SSL ... ? I only know that using startTLS is compliance with LDAPv3 while SSL is compliance with LDAPv2 only. ldap over TLS uses port 389, while ldap over SSL uses port 636.
 
For a windows client connecting to an openldap server in linux/solaris, is it better to use TLS or SSL ?
 
The reason is that I'm using netscape SDK to build my ldap client, but apparently it only supports SSL and not TLS...
To get an SDK which supports TLS, I will need to build openldap SDK on windows, which seems a bit tedious to me.
 
Any hints on how to compile openldap client libraries on VC++ ? The openldap FAQ doesn't say much about this. I only need to use simple bind, so I think I can forget about SASL....I'm not sure which libraries that I have to compile....My guess is libldap and liblber...Currently I'm stuck with unresolved symbols which I think related to winsock .... Anybody can help me ? Not much experience in compiling on windows...

Compiling...
