Summary:                    [patch] followme should answer the call
Description: 
Before followme starts playing any audio it should answer the call.
Patch is trivial (attached).

1.4 have the same problem. Sunce this is minor issue, I'm not sure you
accepting patches for these in 1.4. In any case it is really trivial to
find the same place in the app_exec function and put the same code.

Well, Answer before FollowMe is not the same as answer inside followme. In
my setup I send all unanswered calls to Followme but only a few users have
followme configured. For the rest, followme just says that there is no
profile with such id and exists and dialplan continues to voicemail. If I
put Answer before Followme, it will be answering the call even for those
who does not have followme profile which is not good.

I wonder why someone may need Followme on the call which is not answered.
