Summary:                    [patch] 'core show sysinfo' on systems that dont
have sysinfo but do have sysctl
Description: 
'core show sysinfo' and the SYSINFO function use the sysinfo call.
This call is only present on linux systems.

Since I'm using OpenBSD and want at least the memory stats I created a
version of 'core show sysinfo' that uses sysctl and swap.h to grab the
numbers.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
new patch that adds sysctl check to configure.ac thanks to seanbright.

TODO:
- in main/asterisk.c replace the #if defined(HAVE_SYSINFO).... #else with
#if defined(HAVE_SYSINFO)... #elif defined(HAVE_SYSCTL)....
- we now have two functions with the same name, depending on the #if #else
stuff.
  It would be better to seperate the printing and data-gathering and only
call the correct data-gathering function based on the defined(HAVE_X)
stuff. That way we are not replicating code while there's no use for that.

Thanks go to seanbright for the feedback etc.
