Summary:                    endbeforehexten=yes is useless now
Description: 
1. Part of code:

  if (c->cdr && ast_opt_end_cdr_before_h_exten)
	                         ast_cdr_end(c->cdr);

- missing (this is how it was
http://svn.digium.com/view/asterisk/trunk/pbx.c?r1=12896&r2=12895&pathrev=12896)

2. I have very simple scenario SIP/A calls SIP/B they talk 30 seconds,
then call is finished. Even after i call ast_cdr_end(chan->cdr) - manually
from my app,  these fields aren't initialized:

chan->cdr->billsec == 0,
chan->cdr->duration == 0,
chan->cdr->answer.tv_sec == 0,
chan->cdr->end.tv_sec == 0

3. as far as i understand, CDRs are posted now as soon as channels are
unbridged. This behavior breaks billings which make calculations inside 'h'
extensions. It would be nice to post CDRs after no more apps are left in
the 'h' extension or to have an application in the DialPlan, something like
CDRPost().

Since I'm the one that put this code in place, I'd be best able to explain
it.. you would hope. I moved to posting a bridge cdr because of transfers.
Every change I've made is because of the complexities of what happens in
transfers. The problem here is the specialized reset kills the ability to
see the values in hbeforeexten. Yet, because of xfers, we have a
complication. I've been thinking on this for a while, and will explore this
issue today.
