Summary:                    [patch] App MeeMe Set the channels' account code to
the conference room number
Description: 
This is a patch to the latest version of 1.4.27 such that the user can
specify option 'y' to have the meetme application set the channel's account
code to the conference room number. This is some functionality that our
client's conference server needed. I wrote this because we wanted to use
the meetme application's error handling to prompt for both conference room
and pin number. Not having the conference room number prior to calling
meetme and our customer needing the cdr to have an account code for billing
purposes I added the option. Also part of the motivation for adding this
was that as I was searching the web for ways of doing this in the dialplan
I found many people over the last few years wanting the same type of
functionality.

This is a really nice feature; but I agree with what Russell says. Changing
the accountcode is probably a dangerous thing to do, and may cause
unexpected results for people who are not expecting that.  A more generic
variable could be used to change the accountcode if that was the intended
result.
