Hi William,

This looks good to me, it's definitely a good start.  I see no reason 
not to push the patch once you think it's ready and polished enough.  
Don't forget to add the license text to new files. <This actually needs 
to be done for many of the files in lib389 - I'll open a ticket for that>

Thanks,
Mark
