Re: commit: ldap/servers/slapd/back-bdb search.c

The cancel exop is provided as a groundwork for LDUP-SYNC
synchronization operation, but as it manifest by itself, I've committed it
separately.
For other operations such as add and modify,
the cancel exop seems to have more sense in bdb,
because operations can be undone at any time before transaction commit
by aborting the surrounding transactions.
For other backends, how about checking the cancel flag at the same point in
code
where the abandon flag is checked ?

BTW, do you intend to apply the cancel exop also
to other operations in bdb, and to other backends?
