There is nothing available right now. I have submitted a patch for 8.2,
but nobody has had the time to look at this yet.

If you just want to use AD login, and only use libpq based clients (this
includes ODBC), you might want to use Kerberos authentication. it's not
the same as using LDAP, but if you're on an Active Directory
environment, it might be what you are looking for.
