Summary:                    [patch] Add new command VMSayName()
Description: 
This patch adds a new command, PlayNameOf, which plays the recorded name of
a voicemail user. It also reports back to the diaplan whether it played the
name or not.

This is intended for use in custom dialplan schemes like follow-me or
conferencing or whatever, where it might be necessary to identify an
extension to a caller. "Please hold while <name-of-user> is located" - that
sort of thing.

If there's an easier way to do this, I didn't find it.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
If there isn't a name recorded, I think the most generically useful thing
for this command to do is to speak the digits of the mailbox number. If it
can be worked out so the dialplan can decide, so much the better. But
fundamentally, the "name" of an unnamed mailbox is its number.
