Why?  This is the very same question we (GridShib) faced when
designing GridShib for Globus Toolkit a year ago.  We had hoped to
leverage the (standalone) attribute requester component of the Java SP
in Globus Toolkit, but of course the Java SP never materialized, so we
ended up writing our own.  Tim Freeman did a superb job of this, but
it's always bothered me that we weren't able to leverage an
off-the-shelf Shibboleth component.  So here we are again! ;-)

So there's no way to make the C++ SP function like a standalone
attribute requester?  Remember, in this case, there is but one
IdP---the myVocs IdP---to worry about.  We have total control over
what ends up at the terminal SP.
