FreeRadius and MySql custom attributes

[Venkatesh K]

You can extend the rlm_sql module to read from your schema though it
is some work. Alternatively you can go with perl and scripting.

I believe extending rlm_sql module to read your schema and generate
AVP's will give better performance, but I might be wrong. I have taken
this path for a custom database.
