Re: (ITS#6194) Patch - Enhancement - provide LDIF support as libldif

The ldif code does not currently have knowledge of any of the higher level LDAP data types such as LDAPMod or LDAPControl - some of the proposals would have the ldif API return these objects - Do we really want to introduce this higher level knowledge into the relatively low level libldif, along with the dependency on libldap? I think in order to do this properly, we would have to introduce a new LDAP API e.g. ldap_mods_from_ldif(const char *ldifstr, LDAPMod***, LDAPControl***) or something like that - something that would parse the given ldif record into those higher level data types.

Should have mentioned this sooner; this ITS needs to be merged with ITS#4033.
