We now choose the objectGUID for the schema elements.  I had hoped that
the use of the 'relax' control would cause OpenLDAP to accept us
choosing the GUIDs, but apparently not. 

Howard:  We need to choose the objectGUID for certain records.  How do
we make OpenLDAP accept that?

We don't strictly need this against OpenLDAP, but it's going to be be
pain to special case this.
