slapOrmPlugin : an abstract layer for LDAP in symfony

Hi,

Every PHP developper who had one day to deal with a LDAP tree realized sadly there was no ready to use library to do all the dirty work. That always meant back the the PHP doc and re invent the wheel over and over again.
As it is more often people ask me about symfony and LDAP, I decided to implement an abstration layer for LDAP to make queries as simple as it is today with ORMs like Propel or Doctrine : slapOrm.

It is still in early stage of development : it can generate model class from a schema file, perform complex queries but can write to the LDAP nor generate forms from schema yet. Ultimately I wish it could handle relations between LDAP objects but I do want to develop it slowly, ensuring everthing is well designed and rock solid before moving on complex features. As I am far away from being a LDAP expert, I want this tool to be a convenient way to deal with LDAP without hassle. Every feedback will be welcome.
