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.

Well, normally if there is no name recorded, it says the letters of the
mailbox name configured in voicemail.conf (that's what Directory() does) so
I'd say that is likely the best alternative to a recorded name.
