Sample Dataconnector for Shib 3.1

[Krug, Jeff]

I ported one of the test data connectors we use in our test environment, where it looks up user attributes in a filename on the hard drive.  Basically it is just a simple way to avoid managing a DB or Directory (not at all appropriate for a production environment), but the data connector also provides a convenient template for building other more complex data connectors.  I wanted to provide a link to it (and I can add it to the wiki if appropriate) in case others were looking for a dataconnector starting point:

Additionally, for my clarification, did the APIs for dataconnectors change in 3.1?  I ported this connector over to 3.0 a few months ago and it quit working when 3.1 was released.  I eventually identified 2 changes in the spring parsing code, but I have a feeling there might be a better way to initialize the dataconnector.  And is it expected that point releases will break dataconnectors going forward?  I had dataconnectors built for Shib 2.1 that still worked with 2.4 unchanged in the past, so I was not sure if the 3.0 -> 3.1 issue I had was real or some odd issue with my original 3.0 test environment.
