Sure.  At present, I'm simply in the stage of checking whether this can 
be done or not.  As I already pointed out, I had to anticipate part of 
the consistency checks that are run on writes in slap_mods_check() to 
provide mods data in a safe state to global overlays.  This causes 
current SLAPI code to be called __after__ the checks, while it use dto 
be called __before__.  I suggest you check that this doesn't break 
existing slapi modules.  I think this is necessary, otherwise we will 
need to specialize overlays to be used as global rather than database 
specific.
