It's almost done (xcept a lot of checking and so); however, there's a 
problem with results ordering. Since back-sql returns entries on a per 
structural objectClass basis, and based on how the structural 
objectClasses are returned by the avl tree, search results may be 
unordered.  As such, entries that are returned before their ancestors 
cannot be written, and, at present, don't even get refreshed later.  I'm 
working on this.
