[PATCH] smb_register_idmap()

The code duplication is an unfortunate side effect of the way pdb_ldap is 
written.  The ldapsam_privates struct holds both info that pdb needs and 
that the ldap functions need.  pdb_ldap needs a bit of rewritting in order 
to share code between the two.  I can do this but I just need to be sure 
that pdb_ldap isn't going to change underneath me (which always seems to 
happen).

If we could get a day-long freeze of pdb_ldap, I could rework it to share 
code with idmap_ldap.

I'll work on the idmap_ldap stuff on Monday.  I don't have time to fix 
and test it today.  That means 3.0alpha24  will go out short
of the idmap_ldap code but I'm ok with that.

At first glance, i think there is way too much duplication.  We 
should strip out the common functions from pdb_ldap.c and put them 
in a utility file to link with both idmap and passdb related code.
