Summary:                    [patch] CHANNELS dialplan function, get channel list
in the dialplan
Description: 
There is currently no clean way to get a list of active channels from
within the dialplan -- the cleanest method that's currently possible is an
AGI script, which requires the extra overhead of spawning a new process. 
Since I need to fetch the channel list for each call attempt to an agent
(from app_queue), the wasted CPU time would be substantial.

I would suggest that instead of making this a separate function, that you
make this an argument of the CHANNEL function, i.e. CHANNEL(list)
