I'd see this overlay more appropriate for contrib/slapd-modules right now, until its functionality is considered of general usefulness, which doesn't seem to be the case right now.

Do you think an overlay in the contrib directory could have its --enable flag in top level configure?

My feeling about the contrib directory is that it is some kind of evil swamp where things are much more difficult to automatically build for inclusion in a package.

I suppose so. I put my stuff in there when I don't consider it worth my effort to autoconf-iscate it. Things like nssov only work with Linux, so there's no point in adding the overhead. Stuff in there really is of too limited use to warrant the full effort of maintenance that the core code gets.
