simple EZProxy config from SFX kb

• Description
  • a simple EZProxy config generated automatically from the SFX kb
  • There are two issues which make this a bit imperfect:

  1) The actual URLs for targets are not stored in the SFX db in a very reasonable way, it's a trick to get them out. And the URLs for some target parsers aren't in fact in the SFX db at all, they're just in Perl code. So this isn't really guaranteed to get _every_ URL, but it does get most of them.

  2) Targets assigned to a particular Institution you'd want to go into the EZProxy config in a special way, assigned to just certain EZProxy groups. At least the way we use SFX Institutions here. This is tricky to do, and I haven't accomplished it, so at the moment this script ignores any targets that aren't turned on for the Default institution, if they're just turned on for certain institutions, they won't be included.

  Edmund, I'd really like more information about how you are doing this from the Serial Solutions knowledge base, we'd like to do that too. Can you email me off list (it might not be appropriate for the list since it's not an EL product?), with more info and/or code?
