An LDIF engine requires no knowledge of schema.  Valid LDIFv1 (for
LDAPv2 and LDAPv3) can be produce solely by examining the values
to be represented and then to present those values in one of the
allowed forms as demonstrated by net::LDAP LDIF's module.

I personally think the entry dump method should just use
the LDIF module...
