Two overlays that implement dynamic group classes defined with URL attributes and allowing nesting.

• The first one is an extension of th overlay expandURL but allowing nesting

• The second one changes the way groups are constructed in a more powerful way

• IMPORTANT: this overlay conflicts with nestedAggregateAttrDN.

• if both are active, some searches don't behave as expacted!
  

• Specifically, if you turn both overlays on and search for
  

• 'entries with member=<some member value>' won't work properly
  

• for one of the overlays (the firstly activated one)
  

Seems there's really no need for the nestedAggregateAttrDN overlay, since that is just a proper subset of a URL. I.e., anywhere you would use a simple DN is just a case of subGroupURL: ldap:///<dn>??base
