When originally developed, in the dawn of time, the facter => ldap  
connection was handled by 'enhost'.  It had the schema and knew how to  
actually talk to ldap, the idea being Facter was focused on facts and  
nothing else, and enhost was focused on ldap.

AFAIK, no one has used enhost in years.

I'm not opposed to ldif as an output; well, really, output formats  
should clearly be componentized, so it should be easy to add new ones.
