Added GlobalToken flag - patch attached

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We needed a way to secure full html pages with images and videos that load
in the same directory. We wanted to make these pages accessible within a
specific time window. We wanted to use mod_auth_token to do this, but every
file that gets loaded in the page is a separate request to Apache and
requires a unique token for every image or embeded resource in the page. 
So I added a new flag to the config called GlobalToken. The token is the
MD5 of the secret and the hextime, but not the file path. When this is
enabled the generated link uses just the secret + the hex time to create
the token, then all embedded resources in the page share the same token. 
It works great for our purposes and is a great way to secure flash videos
from leaching, and link sharing.

Please see the attached patch file.

Thank you for a great mod!

Oops I, didn't mean to make this a type-defect. It's an enhancement.
