Since I've just changed things again, I'll note that when you update to
a new world this config will still work (for the next two weeks), but
I'm moving to a different naming convention.  Specifically these lines:

vap_create_wlan0="wlanmode ap"
vaps_ath0="wlan0"

will become:

wlans_ath0="wlan0"
create_args_wlan0="wlanmode ap"

The goal is to use the more obvious wlans name for the list and a mroe generic
name for the arguments to create because we're discussing adding similar
support for vlans and I've added support for create_args_<if> to interfaces
created via cloned_interfaces.
