These functions require their arguments to be in the range of `unsigned char'.

Building tests/progs/*.c in the main build process.
==> Test-suite must be called by 'make test', or 'make test-bdb2'

Slight adaption of concurrency-test to enable even more writers/readers.

  correctness of locking schemas in backends.
In back-bdb2 open NEXTID during startup and close at shutdown.

slapd server timing via a new slapd command line option '-t'.

Use $BACKEND instead of BDB2.  Fallback to LDBM if $BACKEND is not BDB2.

Integration into ./configure ( --enable-bdb2 ).
Adaptation of the test-suite ( 'make' -> ldbm; 'make bdb2-local' -> bdb2 ).
Minor fixes in slapd/libldbm.

initialization after reading slapd.conf, and before starting the daemon

introduction of pid/agrs parameters to the test-suite slapd.conf files;
creation of sub-directory test/var for storage of pid/args files during test;
update of the slapd and slapd.conf man pages.
(The change reduces dependency on ldapconfig.h, since SLAPD_PIDEXT
 and SLAPD_ARGSEXT are deleted from the code.)

Update slap_op to maintain dn and ndn (derived from conn->c_dn).
Update ldbm_back_bind to return actual bound dn (including rootdn)
	for use in slapd_conn.  Other backends use client dn.
Modify other codes to use ndn (normalized uppercase dn) most everywhere.
Aliasing, Suffixing and modrdn could use more work.
Applied suffixing to compare and modrdn.

might have in their ldap.conf(5) file.

John's still working on the 'perl-test' (the perl backend test module).

  make depend, make tests, and make install all work when build directory
  is not the $srcdir.
Also modified library handling such that -lpthread more likely to be last.
WARNING: new orderring requires use of LDFLAGS to set global loader options
  such as -L/usr/local/lib.  If you put this in LIBS, some libraries
  may not be found a link time.
Likely broke Kerberos/LDAPD support.  Don't have those in my testbed.

add/merge as we now free strings agressively.  Improved debug
message to include name of missing required attribute and added
check for 'operational attributes'.  This check should be used
everywhere we need to test for operational attributes (add/modify).
Also, enabled schema checking for tests (and fixed resulting
problems by adjusting oc.conf).

  "Check that the entry has no writers before removing it from the
  cache" sounds more sensible to me than "check that it *has* writers"
  before removing it.
I've also changed the default cachesize for tests to 4.  This
should help discover such problems.

Update Install document with testing step and other minor changes.

Now to sort out configure enable/with options.

Added NO_THREAD support to configure.in.  (Still need thread lib detection)

	SHA1 support is contributed by Daniel J. Gregor <dj@gregor.com>
	MD5 support is contributed by me <kurt@OpenLDAP.org>
	Uses public domain MD5 routines
	Uses ISC/IBM freely redistributable Base64 routines
	SHA1 support requires external SHA1 routines

	adds POSIX RegEx (and removes BSD re_comp/re_exec) support.
* POSIX RegEx is not currently included in the distribution, however
	we will probably add Henry Spencer's REGEX library soon.
* ACL Group functionality is also included in this merge!
