Summary:                    [patch] Allow a simple lookup for hint extensions
Description: 
Currently, all hints must contain only expressions which do not depend upon
a channel definition, since hints may be called without a channel. 
However, since hints are always context- and extension-specific, there
should be a way to reference those indicated values when evaluating a hint.

Problem was where we called ast_add_extension and tried to pass a (void
*)strdup into the data parameter.  Removed the (void *) and it works
great.

I have modified the code to this in branch/1.4 to simplify and make the
variables in the Application be evaluated at register time (when the hint
extension is created.  I will be posting a patch shortly against trunk for
this function with these changes.

We are now using this in a branch/1.4 production enviroment and it works
well.  Great idea.
