//* Main class for an asynchronous LDAP connection 
/**
 * This class represents an asynchronous connection to an LDAP-Server. It 
 * provides the methods for authentication, and all other LDAP-Operations
 * (e.g. search, add, delete, etc.)
 * All of the LDAP-Operations return a pointer to a LDAPMessageQueue-Object,
 * which can be used to obtain the results of that operation.
 * A basic example of this class could be like this:  <BR>
 * 1. Create a new LDAPAsynConnection Object: <BR>
 * 2. Use the init-method to initialize the connection <BR>
 * 3. Call the bind-method to authenticate to the directory <BR>
 * 4. Obtain the bind results from the return LDAPMessageQueue-Object <BR>
 * 5. Perform on of the operations on the directory (add, delete, search, ..)
 *    <BR>
 * 6. Use the return LDAPMessageQueue to obtain the results of the operation 
 * <BR>
 * 7. Close the connection (feature not implemented yet :) ) <BR>
