Uploaded new patches that allows an option in the SayAlpha application.

SayAlpha(string[,casetype]);

Omitting or using an 'i' in the option field 'casetype' will pronounce the 'string' using case Insensitive characters.

Using a 's' in the option field 'casetype' will pronounce the 'string' using case Sensitive characters.

Examples:
SayAlpha(aBc) will produce the announcement 'a' 'b' 'c'. - Default of the current SayAlpha application.

SayAlpha(ABc,i) will produce the announcement 'a' 'b' 'c'.

SayAlpha(AbC,s) will produce the announcement 'uppercase' 'a' 'b' 'uppercase' 'c'.

I made changed to the res_agi but did not test it yet.
Was looking at other application to get an idea of how it should be.

> The application SayAlpha currently does not allow for the announcement of "Uppercase" letters in the string.
> The example we came across is in our IVR that allows users to reset their password.   When the password is auto-generated by the back-end system the security policy specs that the password must have Upper case letter(s) in the password, leading to the Asterisk system to just announce letters.
> This patch is a quick and dirty way to get Uppercase to be announce (e.q. - "g Uppercase h n b Uppercase y").
> Enhancements could be to send a option with the SayAlpha to enable the Uppercase code or a channel variable.  You pick.
> Uppercase sound files will be attached once Allison has completed them.
