doPluginFNs() could easily be enhanced to return whether any plugins were
invoked instead of returning LDAP_SUCCESS both for no plugins and successful
invocation of all plugins.

In the case of the filters, you probably need another function to test 
whether any plugins would be invoked first, too, eg. testPluginsFNs().
