I have an action item to review the loader which might make for a good
comparison. We haven't talked about phasing anything out or dropping
support, especially since the psp has not even been released yet.

As of now, psp-ldap-to-grouper is cron based full sync. However, just
as the psp is triggered by the grouper changelog, it seems reasonable
to trigger the psp via an ldap changelog, e.g. an openldap audit log.

Do you know what the AD changelog looks like ? ldif ?
