Summary:                    AMI command 'MeetMeList' responds with error when no
conferences exist
Description: 
When running MeetMeList without specifying a conference (to get information
on all conferences), an error is returned if no conferences exist.  I feel
that this is not an error unless a 'Conference: <id>' is specified and does
not exist.

On an authenticated AMI connection send:
Action: MeetMeList
ActionID: 1234

If no conferences exist, you receive:
Response: Error
ActionID: 1234
Message: No active conferences.

I would expect to instead receive:
Response: Success
ActionID: 1234
Message: No active conferences.

Or even:
Response: Success
EventList: start
Message: Meetme user list will follow

Event: MeetmeListComplete
EventList: Complete
ListItems: 0

---------------------------------------------------------------------- 
I looked at the code and found the changes required are trivial.  A patch
will be attached once this reopens.  The patch ensures error responses are
only used when a Conference is requested that isn't active, or if
app_meetme.so is not loaded.  Requesting a list of users without specifying
a conference will successfully return a list with 0 entries if no
conferences are active.  Also touched the XML docs for the manager command
to reflect that Conference is optional.

I tested the patch with trunk default ./configure on CentOS 5.5 64bit.
