[ApacheDS] Bundled in Fedora Directory Server for NT4 Sync

Kudos to the Fedora DS guys for mentioning the use of ApacheDS in the 
NT4 Sync product that comes with Fedora DS.  For the quote look here:

http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Architecture

Specifically look in the section on NT4 Sync.  Here's the snippet that 
talks about using ApacheDS. 

"Legacy NT4 deployments are also supported by the 'Active Directory 
Sync' feature. In the case of NT4, in contrast to Active Directory there 
is no native support for LDAP. For NT4, a special 'LDAP Service' was 
written that aims to present an LDAP server with similar schema and 
characteristics to Active Directory. The Directory Server's sync code 
has a small number of special cases to accommodate the differences 
between the two. For example NT4 has no 'surname' field for users, and 
so it is necessary to generate a fake value for 'surname' in newly 
created sync'ed users (because the IETF inetOrgPerson object class 
requires that 'surname' be present). The NT4 LDAP Service is based on 
Apache DS, with a special 'jnetman' back-end that calls the NT4 NetApi 
functions."
                                                                      ^
                                                                      |
