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.

I'm not entirely sure why this needs to be outside of Record() at all.
Can't the options just be tacked onto the end as optional arguments?

Record(${filename}.${ext}[,timeout[,duration[,num_of_keys]]]) etc..?
