What's New:
Now fully supporting PHP5 - this will be the last version developed on PHP4.
Revamped how you configure PLA - now using a config object and some checking,
Revamped how you define LDAP servers - extending the LDAPServer object and adding some checking.
Fixed all functions so that they now use the LDAPServer object.
Introduced the template engine and configuration by XML files. (The old templates are still in this version, unchanged from 0.9.6. They will be removed after this version is released.)
Changed dependancy checking to just index.php, so that common.php executes faster.
Minor improvements to compare.php
Much improved debug logging
Much improved caching
Improved LDAP server info display
Some code readability cleanup
Add other fixes as per the ChangeLog.

Requirements:
A web server (Apache, IIS, etc)
