setting an extension via run parameters

[Edward Lewis]

I don't see that it is possible to set an extension via a run time 
parameter.  The question is: am I missing something, is it already 
possible?

To elaborate on what I'd like to do, here's an example modulo syntax finery...

openssl x509 -req -in csr.pem -CA <stuff> \
       -subjAltName URI:<uri> -subjAltName dNSName:<name>
Which would have a somewhat equivalent result as having this in the cnf file:

subjectAlternateName=URI:<uri>,dNSName:<name>

(Perhaps -subjAltName URI:<uri>,dNSName:<name> would be a better param form.)
