Flexibility in grammars ( ACIItem grammar in particular )

Hi,

I've just updated ACIItem grammar to provide more flexibility as Alex
requested here:

http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DIRLDAP-62

What I've done is to allow any order of components for ProtectedItems
and UserClasses. These two sequences contain lots of optional
components. So it make sense to have them in any order. Do you think
that we should extend this flexibility for most of the rules, even
non-optional ones ?

Cheers.

I've updated the grammar to allow full flexibility for components
order. Duplicates and missing mandatory components are checked also.
It's ready for the release.

Yah good point.  Perhaps we should do it for all.  If we prefix the 
component with a name then it's basically addressed by name and position 
does not matter.  I think its a good idea to do all of them for consistency.

Thanks,
Alex
