As there are many more lists which could be improved by such handling,
it makes little sense to apply per list tail pointer handling.

I suggest that a simple link list routines be added to -lldap (or
-llber if needed there) and then applied as needed.

The simple link list routines can easily be written from scratch
or we can borrow from a public-domain or unrestrictive licensed
source.
