So, what do folks think about reviving libldif as an exported piece of the
distribution?

I think this could be accomplished in one of two ways:
1) Just have libldif return lists of struct berval* for the various data
parsed. The caller would be responsible for turning these into LDAPMod
or LDAPControl structures - the advantage is that libldif doesn't have
to know about any of these higher level structures
2) Have libldif create LDAPMod and LDAPControl - I think this could be
accomplished by having ldif.c #include<ldap.h> to pull in the
definitions of LDAPMod and LDAPControl - would this be ok?
Let's move this discussion to the openldap-devel mailing list. I'm thinking
(2) is OK but I'd like to hear from other developers / potential users of this
library.
