Beware that LDAP filters are a very limited subset of SQL where
clauses (in fact, they are (negated) Attribute Value Assertions
(AVAs) or lists of AVAs under AND/OR relationship.  The opposite
(mapping LDAP filters to SQL where clauses) is very easy: see
back-sql, but I also made a very simple and efficient one using
bison.
