Summary:                    [patch] Asterisk man page outdated
Description: 
The man page included with Asterisk is outdated. Does not include a number
of options.

There is also doc/asterisk.sgml . It has been updated once or twice in the
past. I don't see any Makefile target to generate a man page from it. 

Furthermore, to reference a recent Debian bug: the man page is supposed to
also be used as a man page for rasterisk, but does not mention it.

Likewise undocumented is the ASTERISK_PROMPT variable.

Leif, this is a process that is just starting and Tzafrir is right that
this content is both out of date and hard to manage.

Tzafrir, I will work on this today.  I will need help with testing this
with different versions of man.  I assume we need to test on Apple MacOSX
in addition to all the Linux, *BSD, Solaris platforms.
