Gigaword support

Hi,

FYI: CVS just got a commit that includes Gigawords support for the mySQL 
backend. It behaves pretty much like the one in postgresql, which, for the 
record, has had Gigawords support included since long time ago.

The behaviour is different from that in the quick-n-dirty HOWTO that was 
referenced in this thread: the correct octet value is computed out of the two 
attributes Acct-*-Gigawords and Acct-*-Octets and the result is saved in the 
Acct*Octets column in radacct. No seperate column to catch the Gigawords is 
necessary. IOW: it just works now. If the client sends Gigawords, your 
accounting table will contain the 64-bit value.

For FreeRADIUS 2.0, this obsoletes the steps

"Mysql Table Modification" and
"Freeradius Update"

in

I.e.: just configure your NAS, the server side will handle it just fine.

Greetings,
