[sork] vacation support for multiple aliases

A client has requested support for multiple aliases in vacation, and I
noticed that it is currently hard-coded to limit to 1 alias--I'm
wondering the logic behind that.

I've checked several 'vacation' programs and they all seem to support
multiple '-a' options, which could have been a limiter.  One of the man
pages seemed to imply, however, that accepting multiple '-a' switches is
non-traditional (I'm completely reading between the lines and might be
wrong ehre).  I have noticed that there's quite a few different
implementations of vacation.

Should I still support the one-alias method and add a
can-have-more-than-one-alias config switch, or should I just rework it
to support more than one alias?
