Summary:                    [patch] Configurable voicemail option prompts
Description: 
Provide the ability to configure the option prompts in the voicemail
system.  Large voicemail migration projects may warrant that the "new"
system prompts mimic the "old" system prompts. For instance, "Press 4 for
the previous message" could be "Press 3 for the previous message".  This
change would require both a new prompt recording "vm-prev.gsm" and a change
to the case statement in the code.  

These options could be configuration file driven, using something like:

vm-prev-sound="my-vm-prev.gsm"
vm-prev-option=3

The defaults would not need to be specified and would be set to the
current options.

I'm concerned that allowing people to change the number option is a drastic
enough change that people will expect that if they change the option that
the prompts will automatically change with it.  I'd like to hear about
alternative approaches that ensure that changing the number options is not
enabled by default, so as to avoid this problem as best as possible. 
Possibly, this could be enabled in 'make menuselect', with a warning that
the prompts will not change automatically if you enable that option.

Or another option would force the original behavior if the prompt is not
changed from the default (with a warning on startup).
