I'll be working on patches to do so.

Well, except that I have to add every group manually into the data tree
before it is usable.  And I have no real editing of groups with the hook
method as I can only Add users to the datatree but not modify the LDAP
data with the horde interface.

Also I have a patch to "chroot" the DN of users, so that a user in domain
b can only see users from domain B on a shared install of horde, but I
would require a full ldap driven group backend to show per domain groups
and not allow users to access groups from other domains.

And another main reason for the "chroot" patch I'm working on is that
the horde UI doesn't handle a large number of users very well at all. I
currently have almost 1000 accounts (of which the user lists only show
500 max as php cuts the search results at that limit) in the install of
horde 2.2. which I am upgrading to the 3.0 so that the users can have
calender sharing abilities.
