As was noted to me privately, modifying cache_entrydn_cmp() routine
to canonicalize the cache entry for each compare is expensive.

I recommend we add a new field to the in core entry structure
	char *e_canonical_dn;

This string would be used to speed up comparision operations.
However, the server would still return e_dn on all operations.
Getting the implementation right, though, is a bit more
challedging.  And, of course, there are numerous options for
when to fill in e_canonical_dn.

Guess that's enough 'food for thought' for now.
