I'm doing quit a bit of work in developing and strenghtening back-ldap and back-meta, resulting in recent concurrency tests that allowed to point out few issues. However, these tests take quite a bit of time, and address components of the OpenLDAP suite that are of limited usefulness. I'm considering the opportunity to move them in separate test blocks, much like what was done for back-sql tests, so that regular users don't need to run long tests for each remote database type.
Essentially, I'd add a "make ldap" and "make meta" test block that would run as the last tests (right before sql tests) using the bdb backend for the remote servers. I'd put test035-6 in "make meta", and test028-9 and test039 in "make ldap". The tests would be named ldap-testXXX and meta-testXXX, as currently done for sql-tests. I'm not (yet) fully convinced of this idea because there might be subtle interactions between the proxy and the remote server that would only be highlighted by running the same proxy test with the different backend types, though.
