Summary:                    [patch] app_recordkey - new record application that
returns key pressed
Description: 
I tweaked the app_record application such that it returns a key. Here is an
example of how I am using it:
; RecordKey stops on any digit rather than just #. It returns the digit as
in ${EXTEN}
exten => s,2,RecordKey(${newmsg}.${rectype},${silence},${msg_length}) 
exten => _X,1,Set(seccode=${EXTEN})
exten => _X,2,Read(secrest,,3)
exten => _X,3,Set(seccode=${seccode}${secrest})
exten => _X,4,AGI(ll-login.pl,${seccode})
exten => _X,5,Playback(ll-en-invalid)
exten => _X,6,Goto(lifeline,s,2)
exten => _X,100,Goto(geninstr,s,1)

The reason for this application is to make it easier for our voicemail
clients to enter their login information. The behavior matches that of our
old dialogic equipment.

Waiting on license acknowledgement.

However, I do not like the way this works as it is not intuitive.

I would prefer that this store the digits pressed like in the Read()
application. In fact it should probably would very much like the Read()
application, except that it records the file rather than playing it back.

I can see it working more like this:

exten =>
start,1,RecordKeys(variable_name,file.extension,silence,msg_length,...)
