RFC 2849 states:

      2)  Any non-empty line, including comment lines, in an LDIF file
          MAY be folded by inserting a line separator (SEP) and a SPACE.
          Folding MUST NOT occur before the first character of the line.
          In other words, folding a line into two lines, the first of
          which is empty, is not permitted. Any line that begins with a
          single space MUST be treated as a continuation of the previous
          (non-empty) line. When joining folded lines, exactly one space
          character at the beginning of each continued line must be
          discarded. Implementations SHOULD NOT fold lines in the middle
          of a multi-byte UTF-8 character.

OpenLDAP (ldapsearch at least) has taken implemented that folding
behavior for LDIF output.

This causes trouble for anyone trying to use 'ldapsearch | grep <something>'
for one simple example.

Would you accept a patch to allow an option which disables line folding?
