Much has to be arranged to support the test suite, not really surprising 
when you consider that Ldappc is an integration tool, after all. It is 
documented at 
<http://middleware.internet2.edu/dir/groups/grouper/ldappc-1.0/javadoc/edu/internet2/middleware/ldappc/documentation/DeploymentGuide.html>, 
but I'm not convinced that it is worthwhile for most site to bother.

Indeed, only necessary if you store data in HSQLDB.

Note that <attribute> elements are only used by the JNDISourceAdapter. 
If any are present, only the listed attributes are returned in LDAP 
queries initiated by JNDISourceAdapter. If none are present, all 
attributes are returned in the LDAP query. So you can also just remove 
all <attribute> elements from sources.xml.

Generally, put the jarfile here that contains the 
"hibernate.connection.driver_class" declared in your 
grouper.hibernate.properties file.
