Re: (ITS#3432) back-sql enhancements

[ando@sys-net.it]

Mark,

I'm working (at a slow pace) at merging the patches.  Since things 
changed a bit between 2.2.18 and current HEAD, the merging must be done 
manually; in the meanwhile, I'm reworking things a bit, so the result 
will be appreciably different from your original contribution.  However, 
since it's significantly larger than a couple of lines, I think we 
definitely need a copyright release notice.  I was considering adding 
yourself to the list of acknowledged contributors; in the meanwhile, you 
should submit thru the ITS a statement following the guidelines at 
<http://www.openldap.org/devel/contributing.html#notice>; I'll take care 
of including it into the files that are affected by the most significant 
of your contributions.
