The macro exists: ber_pvt_ber_write() in libraries/liblber/lber-int.h.

I'll be introducing a new function 
   ber_tag_t ber_skip_element(BerElement *ber, struct berval *contents);
or something like that, you might find that useful instead.  Will
point *contents into the BerElement, with no alloc or \0-termination.
