I'm hitting an issue like this in some of the replication tests I'm 
currently performing.  For this purpose, I think we could hack 
ldapsearch (or add a new prog, or use a script on ldapsearch output) 
that sorts entries content attribute-wise and, within each attribute, 
value-wise.  Something like "sort" applied entry-wise after unwrapping 
line folding, optionally case-insensitive would probably suffice.
