I'd like to remind that since I took over the LDAP schema
I introduced a version field in the file for the purposes detailed above:

> grep -A12 '00-Version.schema' /etc/ldap/schema/GLUE20.schema
# File:    schema/00-Version.schema
# URL:     http://redmine.ogf.org/projects/glue-wg
# Doc:     GLUE Specification 2.0 (March 3, 2009)
# Section: - Version file
# Authors: Laurence Field (laurence.field at cern.ch), CERN
#          David Horat (david.horat at cern.ch), CERN
#          Florido Paganelli (florido.paganelli at hep.lu.se), Lund University

# Schema Version: 2.0

ARC already used this information to do certain things with the LDAP tree.

I read somewhere that there might be smarter ways to do this, for example
telling the LDAP server itself and perform a special query on the schema,
but these are not implemented and usually badly documented.

Cheers,
Florido
