IIRC, OpenLDAP 2.0 actually implements -03 which differs significantly
from -04... and, of course, -05 might differ some more (I don't expect
significant change to -04, but I didn't expect significant change to
-03 either...)  This is, of course, a work in progress.

The I-D aside, what's returned to the client should be consistent
with RFC2251... That is, clients shouldn't have to modify a non-empty
DN to continue the operation.

Anyways, I'll (hopefully) be working on the server side referral
code over the next week or so.  Feel free to track the changes
in HEAD... (and/or OPENLDAP_REL_ENG_2).
