Summary:                    [patch] I could not find an easy way to access 
DAHDI channel and span number from the dialplan.
Description: 
  I could not find an easy way to access from the dialplan the span and the
PRI channel being used by an Asterisk channel. As a quick solution I
patched chan_dahdi so that it will populate - if applicable - two
variables:

  PRI_CHANNEL: the PRI channel number
  PRI_SPAN: the PRI span number

  These variables can then be used in the dialplan. The patch it's pretty
simple, even if I don't know how much it could be needed by others.

Would it make more sense to add this functionality to the CHANNEL()
function? We don't really like to add channel variables for this kind of
functionality anymore.
