NOTE: there are no *functional* changes in this for *normal*
gitolite users. It's just a chunk of code moving into a new
subroutine etc.
KDE needs to populate the authkeys file from an LDAP store. Other large
projects may have similar means to store keys, depending on how they do
their user provisioning so a generic solution is worth exploring.
This means that in these special cases
- the gitolite-admin repo's keydir/ directory is not needed [1]
- but they still need to create the authkeys file somehow
Implementation:
- write a shim program to make the authkeys-generation code callable
from the command line/shell.
- set $GL_NO_SETUP_AUTHKEYS=1 in the rc file to disable authkey
generation during a "compile" (admin repo push)
Expected usage of new program gl-setup-authkeys:
- LDAP change triggers some script
- this script collects all keys from LDAP, puts them in some
directory, and then calls gl-setup-authkeys, passing it the name of
the directory
ALSO PLEASE SEE COMMENTS AT THE TOP OF THE NEW PROGRAM IN THIS COMMIT
FOR SOME IMPORTANT DISCUSSION.

Footnotes:
[1] It doesn't make sense to use it if the keys will be maintained by
some other entity and can be called up as needed, and it adds an
unnecessary extra step.
