Should you feel that ldif is not appropriate, then their is already an
XML schema for passdb, and pdb_xml, which was partly designed for this
kind of thing.  (I was also designed to ensure Samba remained buzzword
compliant, back in the XML days ;-)

I would also be very interested in a port of this to the
libnet/libnet_vampire.c code in Samba4, as this code handles other parts
of the migration puzzle, which Samba3 doesn't have the decode correct
for.  (And with the new structure I have, adding this should be
trivial).
