dbrooks:  I noticed you tried to contact me via IRC, but I wasn't around at
the time.

To answer your question regarding the test cases in pbx/ael/ael-tests, it
appears that even a vanilla checkout of trunk fails a whole bunch of them. 
I know there was at least one change I can see based on the new output
(Using LOCAL for ${~~EXTEN~~} assignment in a macro it looks like).

Basically, whomever made that change forgot (or didn't know) to update the
reference output used for the tests.

Now that I've done that locally, I'll apply my patch and make sure all the
tests still pass and update the patch if necessary.
