Luke,

I wonder if you could check the SLAPI portion of this commit; you should
simply review the code in backend.c for backend_access(), checking for
trivial errors; see function backend_compute_output_attr_access() for
details.  There's no way in current code to exploit that feature, because
backend_access() is only called to check access to the "entry"
pseudo-attribute, but there might be need in future development.

Cheers, p.
