The Red Hat Guides are pretty good, but refer to the wiki for 
information about where the differ.

Yes.  I hope you are a perl hacker . . .
If you look here - 
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/ldapserver/ldap/admin/src/scripts/?hideattic=0&root=dirsec 
- you will see several dead migration scripts.  The main one you want to 
start with is template-migrateTo5 - 
http://cvs.fedoraproject.org/viewvc/ldapserver/ldap/admin/src/scripts/template-migrateTo5?hideattic=0&revision=1.7&root=dirsec&view=markup 
- that file contains the code to convert the config and schema settings 
from the old style to the new ldif style.

There isn't one.  The first version of Fedora DS was 7.1 which was 
essentially the same as Red Hat DS 7.1
