-------------------------------------------

I am using both CDR and CEL logging.  However, the CDR is more concise and less verbose.

> Ordinarily, a failed Dial() will post a CDR for the last destination in dial list.  However, in a call file using a local channel and the G option to proceed in the dial plan after dialing (to run an AGI which talks to a database), no CDR is posted for a failed call.  This can be worked around by setting unanswered=yes in cdr.conf, but that has undesirable side effects.  One example is that when calling multiple locations in a single Dial(), all the the destinations which did not end up participating in the call also get a CDR posted.  The reason is that the calling leg of the Local channel does not have CDR(dstchannel) set to anything.  CDR(dstchannel) is currently a read-only property.  A patch to func_cdr.c allows setting CDR(dstchannel) when it is empty.  The dial plan can then use this feature in the error handler after a failed Dial().
