This is now in HEAD; read slapd-sql(5) for details on how to set up the 
baseObject so that it doesn't need to be actually stored in the 
database.  Make sure the view sets each entry's parent to 0.  The 
allow_orphans is no longer required (I might remove it at some point) 
but everything now likely needs to be rooted at the baseObject.
