tx, I just found it in the mailing list (after 3 days of searching :)
Would be handy if it was in the standard ldapsearch manual though ...

It's base64 encoded. If you do:
echo "e0Nwhknkj... " |base64_decode
You'll end up with
{crypt}blablaXXXX
(Note that base64_decode is not a prog, but a perl function per example).
