At this point I wonder whether there is some tool you can feed with a collection of LDAP schemas to find conflicts
You should define in detail what "find conflicts" means.
and at the end the tool should output the merge of all schemas (without duplicates).
What should the tool do if the schema elements differ in some details, like attribute type descriptions differing in matching rules definitions.
I also wonder if there is a standard for dumping the elements of a schema to a filesystem in a unique way
In web2ldap I simply use a subschema subentry with a pseudo-DN as LDIF file for providing a fallback schema in the configuration (which is used in the case a real subschema subentry is not readable for whatever reason).
