...is to load the binary data in /tmp/vcardfile into an attribute
called "vcard" (this is the kind of thing you do if you want to store
somebody's photo, for instance), which probably isn't what the

hard to write something in your favourite scripting language to parse
a VCard and send it off to ldapmodify...
