It would be nice to get configure to support all of OpenLDAP, either with ./configure --recursive and --help=recursive or with something like --<help/enable>-<contrib, unsupported, experimental or whatever>. What are the criteria for putting something in contrib/ anyway? If I understand contrib/README correctly it's for formal reasons, "distributed with OpenLDAP Software, [but] not part of OpenLDAP Software". Not sure what that means for the current non-contrib overlays, all have Copyright OpenLDAP Foundation - though some have other copyrights as well. -- Hallvard
