[PATCH] Add alias to authorization config

Hi,

I'd like to add alias functionality to the authorization
configuration.  This is primarily useful in combination with
doing client certificate authentication.  You can refer to a
cert subject using &alias, instead of having to replicate it
in multiple places.

An example illustrates this best, but you have to imagine doing
this when you have a bit more than one cert:

[aliases]
striker = /C=US/ST=ExampleState/O=Example Inc/L=ExampleTown/OU=example/CN=Sander Striker/emailAddress=striker@example.com

[groups]
group = &striker,

[/]
* = r
&striker = rw

[/foo]
@group = r


If I hear no objections, I'll commit this trivial change tomorrow.


Sander
