Summary:                    [patch] Forced bypass switch in pbx.c - makes
Realtime (or other switch) master
Description: 
This hack allows you to set an alternate switch as the default switch for
the system.  In my case, this allows me to place Realtime (ARA) as the
master switch, bypassing the standard in-memory assembly of contexts and
extensions.  This has a number of advantages over the standard method of
using ARA (or any other switch).

The biggest advantage is that the system will search the alternate switch
for a matching context (and thus you don't have to have a "proxy context"
in extensions.conf which simply invokes the switch with the given
context).

To make this work, simply patch pbx.c with the included patch, then go to
the bottom of your extensions.conf file and create a context named
"bypass_switch" and add a switch statement to include the new master
switch:

[bypass_switch]
switch = Realtime/default at extensions

Restart your system.  The first time Asterisk calls pbx_find_extension it
will look for your bypass_switch.  If found, the bypass switch will be
mounted (cached) and used for all subsequent calls.

We're looking at putting this in, so I've updated the patch to work with
trunk.  Unfortunately, it's going to be difficult for me to test this, as I
do not use switches on my setups.

Would someone like to test this patch, or alternately, give me some
examples to try to test this?
