AFAIK there is not. And if got RFC 2849 right, there is no need
for splitting, so I would also appreciate an optional parameter.
(A fourth "-L" might be good for that purpose or an numerical
operator to specify custom wrapping)
Yet another case where using a decent scripting language with an
appropriate LDIF module would do the job with less hassle. Or even
better doing the job directly with an LDAP module.
This is a general topic better discussed on ldap(a)umich.edu list.
