Neat... I'd avoid doing separate strcEQs for V3EXT_ and the rest
separately since strcasecmp is slow; and I'd also omit the V3EXT_ from
the name completely, just call it SSL_*_SUBJECT_ALTNAME or something and
do the one strcEQ in var_lookup_ssl_cert.  Adding this in +StdEnvVars
might be a bit much...

How does OpenSSL serialize the altname extension if it contains multiple
names; is it usable in SSLRequire then?

(I don't speak for whether it's acceptable to Ralf for inclusion in
mod_ssl 2.8, of course :)
