Note that this does not preserve the case of attribute type names
which might confuse other (broken) LDAP implementations. That's why
ldap.modlist.modifyModlist() looks so f*beep*ing complicated: This
function trys hard to be case-respecting (although I won't guarantee
anything! ;-)

I'd really like to implement those kind of things in a OID-based and
schema-aware Python class for LDAP entries. Compiler-freaks check
out SPARK (see
http://pages.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~aycock/spark/) as a candidate for
parsing the schema descriptions according to the BNF described in
RFC 2252 etc.

Ciao, Michael.
