Hmm, look into web2ldap's source (GPL): function DelTree() in
pylib/w2lapp/delete.py.

But it's not in a shape to directly use it. It's more munged into the
application. And the hasSubordinates handling is slightly different from
what you need. It rather trys to delete a whole entry and retries
differently after receiving ldap.NOT_ALLOWED_ON_NONLEAF.

Hmm, glancing over the code I'd suggest to implement it separately. I'd
try to rename the whole sub-tree first and then handle
ldap.NOT_ALLOWED_ON_NONLEAF smoothly.

Ciao, Michael.
