ldifdiff - compare two LDAP entries and output with a format of ldapmodify

The ldifdiff is a python program to compare two LDAP entries and generate a LDIF

postprocess - Postprocess ldif-files when using ldapsearch

ldapsearch truncates the ldif-files at 78 characters and makes comparison with ldifdiff impossible.
Postprocess.py reformats the ldif files for comparison.

$ postprocess.py -i input_file.ldif
> creates input_file.ldif.postprocessed that can be used with ldifdiff
