Summary:                    asterisk-gui erases comments and other user edits in
conf files
Description: 
This is related to http://bugs.digium.com/view.php?id=13530  but I couldn't
see how to raise the severity from minor to major.

With further use of the GUI I find that there are several things the GUI
does that are severe problems.

1) Any comments (lines beginning with #) are erased. If I comment out a
line in a conf file, then later come back to try and un-comment it (say
because I am testing different configurations) then I find that the line
has been erased! If I wanted to delete the line I would have done that!

2) I added a line to queues.conf (context=xxxx) because there was no way
to add a context in the Queue GUI. If I modify this queue in anyway in the
GUI, then the context= line is erased.

The GUI should NOT erase user edits for fields it knows nothing about.
