Samba4 HOWTO and ldapcmp

[Zahari Zahariev]

Hello Michael and Andrew,

I believe ldapcmp is not DEV only tool but is very likely to be used as a
evaluation tool when migrating from MS Active Directory server and should be
available in wiki places where people go in order to find something which
can help them better decide if they should go Samba4.

In the near future ldapcmp will support comparison for nTSecurityDescriptor
(SDDL) and offline mode (LDIF export/import) which will make it a lot more
powerful and something admins would want to have access to as they evaluate
Samba4 interoperability.

Thanks!
