Summary:                    advanced QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT function
Description: 
with r76801 (issue http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=10127) the application
queue was patched to now include
a variable membercount to keep track of the number of queue members.

As Michelson noted in the changelog - as a side effect the
QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT function did also changed to return the number of
members regardless of their state.

I think that may people still want to use the old method, to get the real
member count (members which are logged on). (we are one of those
peoples....)

In my opinion there are 3 values which are from interest
    - the complete member count (as it gets now returned by
QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT)
    - the logged in member count (as QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT did it before the
change)
    - the free member count (how many logged in members do not have a
call)
There are two possible ways to implement this
    - Create an own function for each value of interest
(QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT, QUEUE_AVAILABLE_MEMBERS, QUEUE_FREE_MEMBERS)
    - Add a parameter to the QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT function to control which
value it should return (no parameter = current behaviour, parameter l = old
behaviour, parameter f = only free members)

the discussion on the mailing list (see the thread at
http://lists.digium.com/pipermail/asterisk-dev/2007-September/029322.html )
did brought up, that the most people would prefer to have one new function
called QUEUE_MEMBER which takes as arguments COUNT, AVAILABLE, FREE.

I will integrate this, will post the new patch soon.

Will this function take it into the official 1.4 ?
