I think that, rather than adding another file, we should change the
format of the 'foo.security' file to allow spelling both role-permission
settings and proxy roles.  The current format is like so:

  <permission_name>:<acquire_flag>:<role_list>

I would prefer a format more like:

  [Permissions]
  <permission_name>:acquire=<acquire_flag>,roles=<role_list>
  ...

  [ProxyRoles]
  <role_name>:yes

Code to interpret this file would go in the (currently non-existent)
CMFCore/FSSecurity.py

Tres.
