OK, fixed.

Debugmod is supposed to be run only from the distribution's root
directory. It is inteded as a developer tool, and is not needed for the
end user.

The dispatch tables were designed as an intermediate layer between
the internal SQL interface and implementation-specific SQL interface
(mysql, postgres, etc.) They were not supposed to be a general-
purpose extension mechanism.

LDAP support will appear in one of the post-0.96 versions,
although I am planning to implement it as a Guile module, rather
than a built-in C module. Actually, all extensions to radius
auhtentication/accounting methods are supposed to be implemented via
Guile modules.

Anyway, you can try to use sql-extension mechanism to accomodate LDAP.
