Sounds very nice. I'm sure the 389 community would be interested. Is the 
code available on the web somewhere? What is the license?

I have a python-ldap module which implements support for the AD DirSync 
control (which is what 389 winsync uses to get changes from AD). It is 
available here - http://github.com/richm/scripts - dirsyncctrl.py

If you need a place to keep track of your code, I recommend github.
