Adding mulitple-valued ENV variables option to mod_auth_mellon

In our  SSO (MS ADFS) environment we perform authorization most of the time passing IDP attributes to applications as apache ENV variables. Current mod_auth_mellon version sets these variables as single-value suffixing variable name with digits (VAR_0 = val1 , VAR_1 = val2 .. etc) which is not very practical for the above mentioned purpose .... 
Proposed patch allows - optionally - to set  multi-valued variables (VAR = val1;val2; .. etc) making mod_auth_mellon act same way the shibboleth apache module does:

Please consider including proposed patch in future mod_auth_mellon releases.

This needs to be clarified. If the goal is to really avoid duplicate values, then I think the code is flawed, since it would only work for the first attribute value. Is it really necessary?
