PSA: Christoph Gohlke no longer provides prebuilt python-ldap wheels for Windows #511

Description

@intgr

For over a decade, Christoph Gohlke used to provide pre-built Python wheel of lots Python packages for Windows, including python-ldap, on his website https://www.lfd.uci.edu/~gohlke/pythonlibs/ Massive thanks to Christoph Gohlke for his service!

UPDATE: New builds are available at https://github.com/cgohlke/python-ldap-build

However this website is no longer being maintained since June 2022 and the latest python-ldap builds there are of python-ldap 3.4.0 (latest version at the moment is 3.4.3).

The python-ldap documentation still links to this outdated page: https://www.python-ldap.org/en/latest/installing.html#windows I believe these outdated versions are still useful, but there should be a disclaimer at least in the documentation.

Hopefully we can find some alternative for this?

There also doesn't seem to be thorough documentation how to build python-ldap on Windows, the instructons are mostly describing Linux.
