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.

There may be a problem that you have not taken into account.  We record all
of our prompts in 3 standard languages, English, Spanish, and French, and
even among these very few languages, there are considerable language
differences that warrant completely different ordering.  This makes
implementing this patch to our standards (of accommodating all 3 languages)
far more difficult than how this patch currently stands and represents a
huge amount of work still to do.

If you'd like to obtain the translations on your own (subject to review by
our native language speakers) and ensure that the prompts accommodate the
language differences, that would address these concerns.  Please note that
you do NOT need to obtain the prompts, as we have the prompts recorded
specially, at a higher bitrate, for compression to the various formats. 
The only thing that needs to be done is to obtain the translations and
ensure that the piecing together of the various phrases makes sense to a
native speaker of each language.
