Summary:                    [patch] Added CURL() Function Timeout Argument
Description: 
If you have a long running web script the CURL function is currently hard
coded to timeout after 180 seconds.  This patch adds a 3rd parameter to the
function which when set overrides the 180 second default.

Example usage:
exten => 1,1,Set(foo=${CURL(http://127.0.0.1/test.pl,,3)})
Which will set a timeout of 3 seconds on the CURL call.

My intent in making the suggestion was not in "moving the goal posts" as it
were, but merely to note that there are additional options that some people
may find useful (such as being able to set up CURL to use a proxy).  I find
it interesting enough that it will get coded whether davevg decides to or
not, but I felt it would be more fair to offer him the opportunity, before
I ran with it, especially since it would replace the work that he has done
already with this patch.
