FakeFAS groups <--> Drupal role

I've hooked up the following role equivalencies via the AuthFAS plugin
for Drupal:

  DRUPAL ROLE                   FAKEFAS GROUP
  -----------                   -------------
  administrator      <---->     cmsadmin
  writer	     <---->	cmswriters
  editor	     <---->	cmseditors

Note that the 'administrator' role in Drupal is almost what the actual
Drupal admin account (uid 1) gets.  The only thing that administrator
can't do is change the FAS settings.

The other two roles 'writer' and 'editor' right now have no special
permissions, and would be treated the same as an authenticated user (I
think).  If someone can test that, I'd appreciate it.  To test, you
would:

1. Create a FakeFAS account and sign the CLA
2. Apply in FakeFAS for 'cmswriters' or 'cmseditors' membership (not
'cmsadmin')
3. Sign in to the Drupal instance with your FakeFAS username + pass.

You should be able to create content.  (You'll see a link on the left
for it if that's true.)
