Summary:                    [patch] generic name support
Description: 
I have added support to libss7-trunk and made changes in chan_zap to fully
implement generic name support.

to send generic name, have a dialplan rule similar to:
exten => s,n,Set(_SS7_JIP=yourjip)
exten => s,n,Set(_SS7_GENERIC_NAME=${CALLERID(name)})
exten => s,n,Dial(Zap/g1/[callednumber])

If you receive a call with a generic name in the generic name field, it
populates the proper internal asterisk variables to display name in the
same way any other channel type would (ISDN PRI/SIP/etc)

Thanks for the speedy response.  I have another question for you.  How
prevalent is this method used for sending name information in SS7?  If it's
the standard way of doing it, I think it might be worth us promoting this
to use the Asterisk caller ID information so we don't have to do it with
our own variable as we have been doing.
