This patch wraps binary data in an xmlrpclib Binary object. This

removes the need for LDIF conversion.  It will make TurboGears direct
code faster, but should keep xmlrpc about the same speed.

The patch also swaps out ldap.cidict for the IPA CIDict class.  IPA code
should only use the CIDict class now.
