Simplest suggestion to satisfy the issue:

Have two optional attributes for memberships:

1) a prefix that would be prepended to whatever was being populated  
into the isMemberOf attribute. If not specified, then nothing is  
prepended.

2) a regex that would specify the scoping for ldappc. Anything that  
doesn't match the regex is ignored. If not specified, then nothing is  
ignored.

This way, we don't alter the existing behavior for any installation  
that doesn't add these attributes.

This would be fairly easy to implement and would satisfy almost all of  
the use cases, except for questionable use cases.
