Funny you mention that. Just added support for generating select lists
based on DIT content in web2ldap. Plugin class looks like attached
below. I take the two attributes defined in the LDAP URL as option
value,text tuple (in that order).

But I'd really like to see the constraints being defined in subschema
subentry instead of slapd.conf.

Ciao, Michael.
