/*
	Virtual Attributes 
	
	This file implements the "virtual attribute API", which is the interface
	by which any joe servercode gets the values of attributes associated with an
	entry which are _not_ stored with the entry. Attributes which _are_ stored
	with the entry will also be returned by this interface, unless the caller
	specifies the SLAPI_REALATTRS_ONLY flag. This means that the casual caller
	looking for attribute values should probably call the virtual attribute interface
	rather than the regular Slapi_Entry_Attr_Find... and so on calls.
	This interface is different from that one in that the data returned is
	a copy, to be freed by the caller. Details on how to free the returned data is 
	given individually for each function.

	The thing is implemented with a service provider model. The code in here
	does NOT know how to generate computed attr values etc, it just calls the
	registered providers of such information. It also takes care of any crusty
	special cases. Everything above the line here is crispy clean.

	Implicit in this interface is the assumption that the value of an attribute
	can only depend on the entry and some independent stored state. For example,
	the value can't depend upon who is asking, since we don't pass that information
	over the interface.

  More design: we'd like to have the regular result returning code in result.c call this
  interface. However, as it stands, his would incur a malloc, a copy and a free for every
  value. Too expensive. So, it would be good to modify the interface such that when we 
  retrieve values from inside the entry, we just fetch a pointer like before. When we
  retrieve values which are generated, we get copies of the data (or can we get pointers
  there too ?? --- no). 

  One way to achieve this: allow the caller to say that they perfer to receive pointers
  and not copies. They are then informed by the function whether they did receive pointers
  or copies. They then call the free function only when needed. The implicit lifetime of
  the returned pointers is the lifetime of the entry object passed into the function.
  Nasty, but one has to do these things in the name of the god performance.

  DBDB: remember to rename the structures mark complained weren't compliant with the slapi naming scheme.
