I've put the chain.c file back into back-ldap, and added a rudimentary 
test032-chain.  It needs improvements like binds, writes and so. 
Another test that should be added is one using the chain overlay as 
global in a replica, and see writes to the replica referred to the 
master.  I've done it as an exercise, and it revealed a few problems for 
global overlays in writing, so we better solve them first (partly done).
