Summary:                    [Patch] Increment the Asterisk Call Manager version
Description: 
When you connect on the AMI interface, the first line is:
Asterisk Call Manager/1.1
Between Asterisk 1.4 and Asterisk 1.6, you've increase the version number
(1.0 => 1.1).
We propose to increment the version again for Asterisk 1.8.

This version number is important for the Asterisk frameworks, to know the
server's capacities, because some commands output like iaxpeers have
changed into Asterisk 1.8.

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
As someone responsible for the maintenance of a library for interacting
with AGI/AMI, this issue is very near and dear to my heart.  My personal
opinion is that the version number of the protocol should only change if
the protocol itself actually changes in some way (argument delimiters, for
example).  Simply adding new directives doesn't necessarily change the
protocol.

That being said, having access to the version number of Asterisk when I
open a new AMI channel or receive a new AGI connection would be of great
value.  Passing that as a distinct variable would be my preference.
