Why is there no simple way to add new schema's to cn=Config? As in, something like "slapadd --schema newschema.schema".

Eh? New schemas can be added directly using slapadd, or using ldapadd.

The best explanation I found on how to add a new schema is http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch6/slapd-config.html#use-schemas. You have to create a conf file, a new directory, run a command, edit a file, and then run another command. That's a lot of places where user error could break things.

Your first mistake is in trusting anything that Zytrax says. Most of their information is out of date or flat wrong.
