I strongly suspect I won't ever get to the stage of being able to use OpenLDAP's schema files, unless they are strictly broken up into files that do and don't conflict with Microsoft (which is probably not an OpenLDAP goal :-)
Files provided by OpenLDAP are a mere dump of the contents of the related RFCs, but users are not required to use them. User-defined schema is user-defined schema and, although most of interoperability would probably break if you don't load core.schema (an significant portions of it are actually hardcoded), you don't need to use those files. So breaking things up, or extracting portions and copying them where they are needed by your application should not be an issue, given that they are pretty stable, since they're based on standard track documents. Of course, as soon as you change standard track definitions, you work against interoperability, but that's another issue.
