Okay, I've now got the module to load, but unfortunately it still isn't
working.  Attempting to use the ppolicy module from HEAD with the 2.2.18
slapd results in as segmentation fault as soon as a query is attempted
(as far as I can tell with gdb it appears to be segfaulting on
ppolicy_bind or ppolicy_unbind - I've seen it do both).  This is on both
Solaris 9 x86 [ my target production system is Solaris 9 sparc ] and
linux (Mandrake 9.2 base).  Unfortunately using slapd from HEAD isn't an
option as it doesn't seem to like several previously valid configuration
file directives (like the defaultsearchbase and TLS options), as well as
the fact I'm not keen on using bleeding edge code in production ;)

I presume the problems I'm having with segfaults are due to something
that changed in the overlay stuff between 2.2.18 and now(?) but frankly
right now I'm stumped.
