As you would have seen in my mail yesterday, it seems there is much,
much more work to do.  We started adding support for possibleInferiors
yeasterday, and instead spent the day working on making the schema
lookup more efficient. (binary search instead of walking a linked list
every time).

It turns out that with the previous code, just running with the larger
schema had a large performance cost.

I hope to have it out by SambaXP, with the new schema and UID changing
fixes in it.  Perhaps if the schema issue drags on again, we might cut
another 'quick' alpha before that.

Have a look at the tasks I suggested, and also try my wspp-schema branch
out against a current OpenLDAP.

Yeah, that will be useful.
