OpenLDAP currently does not support loading of new syntaxes, matching 
rules, ... into the server by simply defining them in slapd.conf.

Defining a new syntax means defining a new form of data structure that
the server must know about. This is not possible using only configration 
options. You need to code it into the server.
Of course the same holds for matching rules, ...
