This was not in my original plans, but the use of the same event loop
implementation that is used in hostapd should make this quite
straightforwarded. In fact, I ended up doing this now.

The current devel snapshot should have this implemented. I tested only
with a dummy driver interface as an extra interface and one real radio
and it seemed to work. Anyway, if you end up testing this, please let me
know whether it works with two (or more) real radios..

You will need to specify all interfaces on the command line, separated
with -N. For example:

wpa_supplicant -cwpa1.conf -iwlan0 -Dhostap -N -cwpa2.conf -iath0 -Dmadwifi
