Summary:                    New application app_pickupextn.c
Description: 

We attempted to implement call pickup using the cmd
Pickup(extension[@context]) but found it was limited to only being able to
pickup a channel that is in the DIAL state.

This application app_pickupextn.c extends the Asterisk pickup application
to be able to do the following:

- will pickup any ringing CHANNEL (whether it be SIP, IAX, or ZAP).
- will pickup any ringing CHANNEL which can be from a DIAL or QUEUE 

I believe the command Pickup() is restricted in that it only picks up from
a DIAL.

Examples of using the command:

PickupExtn(SIP/usera)
PickupExtn(SIP/usera&SIP/userb)
PickupExtn(SIP/usera&SIP/userb&SIP/userc)

You could also pickup 

SIP/usera&SIP/userb&SIP/userc 

by simply

PickupExtn(SIP/user)

which is useful but represents a possibly issue at the same time (see
additional information).

Okay, so I think what we're waiting for is for you to upload an updated
patch.  Also, please rename the fields that you're using with context and
extension to just channel, since that is what it's doing.  Otherwise, the
code is very confusing.
