216049bd12 New Frontend->Backend Interface
Separates per backend type from per backend database initialization
	and startup.  Also supports per type / per backend shutdown.
New frontend startup/shutdown routines are also provided:
	slap_init() slap_startup() slap_shutdown() slap_destroy()
New frontend->backend startup/shutdown is managed by:
	backend_init() backend_startup() backend_shutdown backend_destroy
backend_init() now calls bi_init() to initial all function pointers
for the backend (excepting bi_init() which is now the only hardcoded
entry point).  New entry points are detailed in slap.h struct
backend_info.  backend_info is a per database type structure.
Besides the new startup/shutdown entry points, the new interface
also supports per backend type configuration options.  One could have:

	backend bdb2	(new Berkeley DB 2 backend)
	bdb2_home	/directory

	database bdb2
	...

	*** This code is fairly experimental ***
	*** Much cleanup and testing is still needed ***

see slap.h for details on struct backend_db and backend_info.

0181892175 Change o_private from int to void*. Use it to hold a pid_t (and hope it fits).
Have forkandexec() return pid_t instead of int.

7e6ad5100c Protoized, moved extern definitions to .h files, fixed related bugs.
Most function and variable definitions are now preceded by its extern
definition, for error checking.  Retyped a number of functions, usually
to return void.  Fixed a number of printf format errors.

API changes (in ldap/include):
  Added avl_dup_ok, avl_prefixapply, removed ber_fatten (probably typo
  for ber_flatten), retyped ldap_sort_strcasecmp, grew lutil.h.

A number of `extern' declarations are left (some added by protoize), to
be cleaned away later.  Mostly strdup(), strcasecmp(), mktemp(), optind,
optarg, errno.
