Summary:                    [patch] Campon feature
Description: 
Allows ability to camp-on a caller with MOH, when the extension is busy.
Caller can break out of camp-on by pressing 1 or 2. Drops back onto the
dialplan with different priority. I've put it here because I modified the
app_queue file to provide this functionality.

I really don't think this is the right way to go.  This code is derived
from ancient times, and there are newer better ways of accomplishing this. 
You shouldn't have to retry periodically.  Asterisk knows about device
states.  A bigger issue though is that there is already "camp on"
infrastructure in Asterisk as of Asterisk 1.8 (the call completion code). 
It is doing this exact thing.  For this "stay on the call camp on" feature
to go into Asterisk, I think it needs to be done as an extension to the
call completion feature infrastructure so that the same queue of callers is
used, regardless of the camp on method (staying on the call, a generic
callback set up by the dialplan, or one of the protocol specific methods of
subscribing to camp on services).
