Now I've implemented support for ManageDIT in web2ldap 0.16.0a2 applying
the control only when suitable. It seems to work. I've modified some
operational attributes with OpenLDAP HEAD. The operational attributes
are presented in the input form when ManageDIT is enabled.

You can enable and play with it (and Subentries and ManageDSAIT in
[ConnInfo]:

The link above *is* slow. Feedback is appreciated.
