openldap has a neato ldaptemplates.conf, and a few library routines to
use it.

i wrote some perl bindings for the library routines, but never got
around to using it in a web page (i wrote most of a perl-tk app tho)

with that and ldapsearchprefs.conf (which i also wrote perl bindings
for), you should be able to come up with a very easy to use (and yet
still general purpose) interface.
