It looks like all of the necessary back-config infrastructure is now
working. I've converted the Syncrepl Provider and ProxyCache overlays to
the table-driven config and the standard tests still pass, so nothing
has broken at least. It should be pretty straightforward to convert all
of the remaining backends and overlays using back-ldif/back-bdb and
these two overlays as models. The ProxyCache code is particularly
instructive as it shows how to use the hooks to add an arbitrary entry
underneath the overlay entry (in this case, for carrying the
configuration of the cache database). If anyone feels like getting their
hands dirty, this would be a good opportunity to jump in and help out
with the remaining conversions. I suggest you respond here with the
particular backends/overlays you want to work on, so we can coordinate
the work and OID allocation. Also it'd be good to get more eyes
reviewing the code and asking questions about whatever is unclear. We
can turn whatever comes up into FAQ material etc...
