My version of ldap_explode_dn also unescapes "^#(hexpair)+".
'CN=3D#a0' is 'CN=3D\a0' and 'CN=3D\#a0' is 'CN=3D\23a0'

There is one false positiv left: '01.1=3Djsmith'

There was a typo in ldap_explode_dn which prevented lower casing from=20
working. I also update the return code handling in case of an error and=20
added a reverse parameter to ldap_explode_dn as well as support for the=20
'<UID=3Djsmith,O=3Dexample,C=3DUS>' LDAPv2-ism.

Attached is the updated version of dnutils.pm and a test script along with=20
the test cases from ldapbis.
