get_pages() filtering by page author [PATCH]

[skippy]

Attached is a patch that supports a new '&authors=' parameter to get_pages() and wp_list_pages(). It accepts a comma-seperated list of author IDs or author login names (and you can mix-and-match names and IDs in the parameter).

Examples:
wp_list_pages('authors=1,2');
get_pages('authors=admin,skippy,ryan');

I think this will be an extremely useful addition for multi-author blogs, as it allows better control over templating.

Might as well commit this, but it would be nice if someone could test it first.

I have updated skippys patch to run against current trunk:

1. Removed the inline query and used a builtin db abstraction functions
2. Removed the use of the non-existant next inside the foreach loop
