Removing/fixing shibboleth stats in Apache logs

[Roland Tanner]

Hi Peter,

Could you give me an idea of the knock-on effect changing the 
REMOTE_USER might have? I'm reasonably sure it doesn't effect how our 
application works, but better make sure. Fixing awstats or tweaking 
Apache logs is probably the better way to go, you're right.
