Passing a pointer to struct, rather that a char**, would save you from
reworking the whole API once more, in case you need to pass/want back
more elaborate data in the future.  Passing a SlapReply* could require
twice the effort as soon as your needs diverge from what's available in
SlapReply; this could be avoided by adding yet another structure to
SlapReply's union for internal purposes, if ever required.
