(ITS#5294) ldapdelete gives error when too many entries

The ldapdelete command does not have a sizelimit option. If I have a lot of entries in my LDAP server and issue an ldapdelete command, the command fails saying that there are too many entries (default seems to be 500). It would be useful to have a -z <sizelimit> option for ldapdelete, as for ldapsearch, so that I can use ldapdelete to delete sets of entries at a time. thanks -Chitra
