On these, this is what I don't like, and we need to be smarter about:

- self.assertEquals(["789"], list(rm["bla"]))
+ self.assertEquals([b"789"], list(rm["bla"]))

I don't want to see these b things everywhere, because we will be
chasing our tail for the whole duration of the port if one isn't added
somewhere.  

LDB is LDAP, LDAP is UTF8.  Any 'unicode strings' should be
auto-converted to UTF8.  Likewise, str() of an LdbMessageElement should
convert them from UTF8 into a unicode string, if you must.
