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().

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
We use 'h' in our RxFax application. After the fax application completes,
the channel is disconnected (by the app, the dialplan hangup, or the SIP
channel closes) and the dialplan continues to the 'h' extension to complete
the fax cleanup operations (email the fax and delete the temp file). This
is not exactly standard usage, but it has been working correctly for a long
time. We don't use it for normal calls so there are no transfers or other
user interactions. Let me know if you want more details.
