Summary:                    [patch] Patch to allow tone-list as argument to
ReadExten
Description: 
It is desirable to allow ReadExten to prompt with tones that are specific
to the use of ReadExten.  This patch allows support of tones (a) not in
indications.conf and/or (b) independent of the tone-zone.

With no flag, the "filename" argument causes ReadExten to play the file in
the background.

There is an "i" flag, which causes it to look the "filename" argument up
in indications.conf and play the tone sequence instead.

Current behaviour if the "indication" isn't found is to fall back to
trying to treat it as a filename (even though "i" is given).  That will
probably fail.

The attached patch allows a tone sequence to be specified instead of an
indication.  Effectively, if the "i" option is specified, the filename
argument is treated exactly like an argument to the "Playtones"
application.  Since the Playtones application accepts "|" as a separator,
even a multiple tone sequence may be specified.

example:

exten => s,n,ReadExten(exten,390+460/400|330+400,unrestricteddisa,i,20)

This plays 390+440 for 400 ms and then 330+400 from then on.

I'm about to commit something slightly different.

My method will fix the flaw you suggested might exist, and maintain
backwards compatibility.
