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.

crissk:  I'm not convinced that we SHOULD move forward on this patch.  The
problem is that anybody making such a change is going to need to also alter
the source code to voicemail, as changing the prompts won't change the
behavior.

Once you get into altering source code, there is no advantage to this
patch, as you could do the same thing (changing the prompts) within the
source code itself.

Unless you can convince me (or another developer) otherwise, I don't think
this patch is going to go in.
