Summary:                    [patch] add option to configure locale for date/time
string construction
Description: 
Hi!

When voicemail sends emails it constructs the date/time when the
voicemessage was received. This patch allows to configure the locale for
generation of the string.

locale=de_AT.UTF-8 results in

"Montag, 26 Jänner 2009" instead of "Monday, 26 January 2009".

This could also be achieved setting the default OS locale - but this would
also change the locale of all other date/time strings in Asterisk
(logmesage, CDRs...) which can be bad.

tilghman, I modyfied app_voicemail to make use of the new functions and it
works (see uploaded patch).

But I had problems building Asterisk with support for newlocale -
autodetection did not work. I had to define manually "#define
HAVE_NEWLOCALE 1" in autoconfigure.h to enable the feature.
