LDAP backend nearing completion

Only 7 working days (with standard working hours !) were needed to implement the biggest part of the LDAP backend and fix blocker bugs. It works completely today (get/add/mod/del, wouhou !).

The only work not yet done is slapd configuration, which is not strictly the backend functionnality, but I want it done: Licorn has to autoconfigure slapd when it's freshly installed. Typically on a Lucid Lynx system (Ubuntu), cn=config is completely empty, which render slapd totally unusable, which is not acceptable for us.

This could be resolved by packaging work. But I want Licorn to be autonomous on different system and not duplicate packaging work among distros. By the way, Licorn must in the end be able to change the LDAP base_dn and other configuration attributes. Even though this functionnality is less than autoconfiguration, autoconfiguration is not far behind (the way that I see it, in KISS technology).
