Seems like a good idea. Having a schema file defined probably makes that
easier, anyway.

Actually, it doesn't compile on my system. Now that I've got LDAP
tested, I plan to go see why that, Lua, etc. all cause build failures
here. Seems to all come down to missing dependencies, since the failures
are almost universally unresolved symbols.

Would it be crazy to just check for the PEM header/footer? If the LDAP
bits can't handle it without the header/footer, then I assume that the
other DB types can't because they're being shoved through the same
OpenSSL routines.
