The downside is that it doesn't seem to work with 1.9. I couldn't
get it to work at all even following up on some of the patches
and bug reports on the RubyForge page.

The good news is I created a patch for ruby-ldap-0.9.7 to get it
to work with ruby 1.9. I added it to the SourceForge tracker here
in case anyone's interested:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=2622809&group_id=66444&atid=514521

By the way, you can go a long way to porting a C extension to ruby 1.9
by just doing this:

  ruby -pi -e '
  gsub(/RARRAY\s*\((\S+?)\)->len/) { "RARRAY_LEN(#{$1})" };\
  gsub(/RARRAY\s*\((\S+?)\)->ptr/) { "RARRAY_PTR(#{$1})" };\
  gsub(/RSTRING\s*\((\S+?)\)->len/) { "RSTRING_LEN(#{$1})" };\
  gsub(/RSTRING\s*\((\S+?)\)->ptr/) { "RSTRING_PTR(#{$1})" }; ' file.c
