 From raddb/sites-available/README:

   The virtual servers do NOT have to be set up with the
"sites-available" and "sites-enabled" directories.  You can still have
one "radiusd.conf" file, and put the server configuration there:

Actually a good idea.  Its just not obvious.  The previously mentioned  
README is very helpful.  I think its in the wrong place.  It should be  
in raddb where its easier to find.  Perhaps there should also be an  
UPDATING file that points to it.  The new structure needs a road map  
because things are quite difficult to find until you really understand  
the structure.

I now have one module completely working and the other one most  
probably working.  I don't have the complete environment on the test  
machine yet so it won't do everything yet.  I hope to start updating  
the WIKI on Monday.  My initial approach is to retain the existing  
module page but identify it as Version 1 and create a new one that is  
for Version 2.  One significant change that took mw quite awhile to  
figure out was that the request arguments are addressed differently.   
You have to be careful in using the proper pointer for the data type.   
However, anything with an IPv4 address, e.g. Freamed-IP-Address, is  
handled quite differently.  Version 1 would give you a string  
("10.0.1.1") whereas Version 2 gives you the binary version as 4  
bytes.  I haven't checked all the other data types for changes like  
that.  The other ones I use maintained the same format.
