Does FreeRADIUS support PEAPv0/EAP-TLS?

I already do that with the Juniper Access Client. The problem is that the
client certificate has the user's name as the Common Name and that is sent
in the clear. PEAP/EAP-TLS sends the user's certificate through the tunnel
obviating the issue. I admit this isn't a large problem but it would be a
nice feature to have.
