I would like to be able to specify custom ldap options that map to ldap_set_option()

Of particular interest to me is ldap_set_option(NULL, LDAP_OPT_DEBUG_LEVEL, 7); which is set before an LDAP connection is started, that will allow me to troubleshoot problems with my LDAP configuration.

As far as I am aware, troubleshooting LDAP misconfigurations is near impossible without doing this.

Obviously I would want to be able to filter the LDAP log messages as well.

Other useful options would be LDAP_OPT_TIMELIMIT for specifying a custom timeout.
