A couple of comments:
    you can just use configure --enable-overlays if you want them all...
    the cn=config database ignores ACLs. It requires you to be the 
rootdn to have any access at all.

And yes, we need to write a manpage for the config backend. That's 
already ITS#3812. Anyone who wants to volunteer to help get that going 
can probably start by condensing some of the information that's 
currently in the Admin Guide into manpage format.
