//
//  Function:   LdapEscape
//
//  Synopsis:   Escape the characters in *[pszInput] as required by
//              RFC 2254.
//
//  Arguments:  [input] - string to escape
//              [strFilter] - input string but with special characters escaped;
//
//  History:    06-23-2000   DavidMun   Created
//              2002/04/24   ArtM       Changed interface to use wstring.
//
//  Notes:      RFC 2254
//
//              If a value should contain any of the following characters
//
//                     Character       ASCII value
//                     ---------------------------
//                     *               0x2a
//                     (               0x28
//                     )               0x29
//                     \               0x5c
//                     NUL             0x00
//
//              the character must be encoded as the backslash '\'
//              character (ASCII 0x5c) followed by the two hexadecimal
//              digits representing the ASCII value of the encoded
//              character.  The case of the two hexadecimal digits is not
//              significant.
//
//  More Notes: Passing LPCWSTR as input parameter.
//              The compiler will automatically create a temporary wstring
//              object if you pass a LPCWSTR for input.  The wstring constructor
//              that takes a WCHAR* will croak most egregiously though if you pass
//              it NULL, so make sure you know a pointer is not NULL before passing
//              it to this function.
