I have recently committed to OpenLDAP's HEAD code an independent 
client-side implementation of RFC 4533 which is basically a C-API that 
is intended to allow client-side content synchronization, i.e. to 
maintain a local cache of partial data, possibly updated live in case of 
refreshAndPersist mode.  As such, it's pure RFC 4533, while slapd's 
built-in client side contains some implementor-specific extension to 
improve replication performances.  I guess it doesn't really count as 
another implementation, since it's part of OpenLDAP, though.
