LDAP authentication using the module

I am trying to setup LDAP auth using the module defined in the patch here (tgz version).

My OSQA version was built from SVN trunk a few days ago as described here.

• Why isn't this module part of the trunk yet ? It seems a very important feature to me.
• After unzipping the module in OSQAforum_modulesldapauth, I get this error when I start the server :

  C:Python26Libsite-packagesOSQA>manage.py runserver  192.168.0.24:8000
  Traceback (most recent call last):

  Error: Can't find the file 'forms.py' in the directory containing 'C:\\Python26
  Lib\\site-packages\\OSQA\\manage.py'. It appears you've customized things.
  You'll have to run django-admin.py, passing it your settings module.
  (If the file forms.py does indeed exist, it's causing an ImportError somehow.)
