It does not work, because we can't tell if test.ldif is associated with
cn=test or with sn=test.

So we need to use the AT :
/cn=test
/sn=test
cn=test.ldif
sn=test.ldif

Now, can we do that on all the FS ? On linux, the answer is yes. What
about Mac OS/X ? W$ ? Solaris ?

OpenLDAP already does this. In Unix filesystems (that includes Linux, MacOSX, and Solaris) the only reserved character is slash '/'. On Windows the only special characters are colon ':' and dot '.'. There should be only one dot and there cannot be any colon. Hex-escape these characters if they appear in an RDN and you'll be fine.
Not enough... if the AT is case-sensitive, you will have to create 2 entries, but then, on this loosy Widnows system, it won't work...

See my next mail too.
