exprimental implementaiton of $PrivDropToUser directive
... which permits to drop root privileges. This is not a completely secure way of dropping permissions, e.g. the group permissions need to be dropped, too. Also, there are several vulnerability Windows (see code comments). Finally, at least the imklog module on linux does not work when privileges are dropped. This code may still be a valuable addition, and so I have created an experimental branch so that people can check it out.
