This is also a problem with the date field support... I tried enabling a
birthdate firled in attributes.php and sources.php and it fails to work
correctly as LDAP stores dates differently than MySQL does.. Evolution
stores the birthdate in LDAP as yyyy-mm-dd..

We really need to be sending the type of the fields to the backend driver
so that it can store the data correctly..
