Now we can use the ad2oLschema utility.  The command line I use is:

bin/ad2oLschema -H /data/samba/samba4/prefix/private/sam.ldb -I
setup/schema-map-openldap-2.3 > setup/ad.schema

The schema-map file remaps some OIDs and skips some of the builtin
objectClasses.

If you add the --option=convert:target=fedora-ds option, it becomes
formatted for Fedora Directory, but this doesn't load yet...
