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.

Hmmm, I see your point :)

OK so at this point we're at a crossroads and need to make an informed
decision. The way to resolve this is to post something to the asterisk-dev
list and get some of the other developers to weigh in on the decision
making. This way we don't waste any more of your time with implementations
that we can't accept :)

So go ahead and ask on asterisk-dev about this issue, and then we can let
the other community developers help us decide what is best.

Thanks for all your work so far!
