Thanks Brad, this seem a nice graph of the structures.
But it does not say much about the API, which has been built to mimic
the LDAP API to some degree.

The message structure follow the same rule, as we need to have all the
features LDAP have.

Anyway I'm going to change again the internal API because I want to
support notifications.
As an ldb user, would you be interested in such a feature?
How would you see an async interface to ldb?

Any comments on this topic are well accepted.
Simo.
