may need optimization;
uncomment #define USE_LDAP_DN_PARSING in libraries/libldap/getdn.c
to enable its use.
The ava/rdn/dn handling routines (append, insert, free and so) must
be made available thru declaration in some header.
Compile with -DLDAP_CONNECTIONLESS to use this code.
For slapd, use "-h cldap://" to listen on UDP.
For ldapsearch, use "-H cldap://" to query on UDP.
Client-side support is very minimal:
no automatic timeout/retries
no basedn wildcard expansion on results
no support for specifying multiple servers at once.
The old monitoring stuff has been removed; the new backend is
enabled by using --enable-monitor at configure time and requires
database monitor
in slapd.conf to be activated. At present it implements a subset
of the old monitoring options, and it should be extendable to
a number of different subsystems. The search operation has been
implementd; it does not honor abandon or size/time limits, though.
The compare and the abandon operations are planned.

- librewrite, for string rewriting; it may be used in back-ldap
by configuring with '--enable-rewrite'. It must be used in
back-meta. There's a text file, 'libraries/librewrite/RATIONALE',
that explains the usage and the features. More comprehensive
documentation will follow.
- enhancements of back-ldap (ITS#989,ITS#998,ITS#1002,ITS#1054 and ITS#1137)
including dn rewriting, a fix to group acl matching and so
- back-meta: a new backend that proxies a set of remote servers
by spawning queries. It uses portions of back-ldap and the rewrite
capabilities of librewrite. It can be compiled by configuring
with `--enable-ldap --enable-rewrite --enable-meta'.
There's a text file, 'servers/slapd/back-meta/Documentation', that
describes the main features and config statements.
Note: someone (Kurt?) should run 'autoconf' and commit 'configure' as
my autoconf version must be different: my configures contain a number
of differences and I didn't feel comfortable in adding them :)
