I am try to add a restrict post feature to sympa, one where one list
contains the list of acceptable subscribers for another list.  I have a
scenario with some custom code that works well.  I now want to automate the
creation of the restrict post lists.  I was thinking of using the Family
feature, as these lists are used only to hold a list of approved posters.
The lists will have most of their setting locked down.  The problem is that
for the life of me I cannot figure out how to create the $family variable to
send over.  I am hoping to use:

admin.pm create_list

#           $aliases : concated string of alias if they

How do I create the $family object?
