  Maybe not phase out, but replace.  The Exec-Program-Wait attribute
is a "magic' attribute, and as such, requires addiitonal code in the
server core to manage.  That code would be better off in a module.

  The idea is to move the code from the server core to rlm_exec, but
the behaviour and functionality of Exec-Program shouldn't change.

  I don't see why.
