Summary:                    Remove dahdi and meetme dependency for page function
Description: 
Most of the features now are independent of dahdi for a timing source now
that there is kernel timing available in 1.6.2.  app_page.c is still
dependent upon dahdi and meetme because uses meetme to merge the channels. 
It would be better to remove that dependency.  I've attached a diff which
changes the application to confbridge rather than meetme.  The recording
feature isn't available but it seems like a better solution than the
existing app_page.c since it removes the dependencies.

Would it be possible to have the application detect if meetme is available
at build time and then make the "r" option available if meetme is there?

If you're removing functionality from Page() (because ConfBridge() doesn't
have recording, etc...) then I don't see the point here.

Perhaps you should enable some sort of flag in the Page() application to
control which application is used for mixing the channels? I would not
support removing the ability to use Page() as it currently stands.
