Log:
Added some clarification to the example configs for CDRs, on how to select a backend. Also, made cdr-csv the default if you 'make samples', and no other changes.

+;
+; CHOOSING A CDR "BACKEND"  (what kind of output to generate
+;
+; To choose a backend, you have to make sure either the right category is 
+; defined in this file, or that the appropriate config file exists, and has the 
+; proper definitions in it. If there are any problems, usually, the entry will
+; silently ignored, and you get no output.
+; 
+; Also, please note that you can generate CDR records in as many formats as you 
+; wish. If you configure 5 different CDR formats, then each event will be logged
+; in 5 different places! In the example config files, all formats are commented
+; out except for the cdr-csv format.
+;
+; Here are all the possible back ends:
+;
+;   csv, custom, manager, odbc, pgsql, radius, sqlite, tds 
+;    (also, mysql is available via the asterisk-addons, due to licensing
+;     requirements)
+;   (please note, also, that other backends can be created, by creating
+;    a new backend module in the source cdr/ directory!)
+;
+; Some of the modules required to provide these backends will not build or install
+; unless some dependency requirements are met. Examples of this are pgsql, odbc,
+; etc. If you are not getting output as you would expect, the first thing to do
+; is to run the command "make menuselect", and check what modules are available,
+; by looking in the "2. Call Detail Recording" option in the main menu. If your
+; backend is marked with XXX, you know that the "configure" command could not find
+; the required libraries for that option.
+;
+; To get CDRs to be logged to the plain-jane /var/log/asterisk/cdr-csv/Master.csv 
+; file, define the [csv] category in this file. No database necessary. The example
+; config files are set up to provide this kind of output by default.
+;
+; To get custom csv CDR records, make sure the cdr-custom.config file
+; is present, and contains the proper [mappings] section. The advantage to
+; using this backend, is that you can define which fields to output, and in
+; what order. By default, the example configs are set up to mimic the cdr-csv
+; output. If you don't make any changes to the mappings, you are basically generating
+; the same thing as cdr-csv, but expending more CPU cycles to do so!
+;
+; To get manager events generated, make sure the cdr_manager.config  file exists,
+; and the [general] section is defined, with the single variable' enabled = yes'.
+;
+; for odbc, make sure all the proper libs are installed, that "make menuselect"
+; shows that the modules are available, and the cdr_odbc.conf file exists, and
+; has a [global] section with the proper variables defined.
+;
+; for pgsql, make sure all the proper libs are installed, that "make menuselect"
+; shows that the modules are available, and the cdr_pgsql.conf file exists, and
+; has a [global] section with the proper variables defined.
+;
+; for logging to radius databases, make sure all the proper libs are installed, that 
+; "make menuselect" shows that the modules are available, and the [radius]
+; category is defined in this file, and in that section, make sure the 'radiuscfg'
+; variable is properly pointing to an existing radiusclient.conf file.
+;
+; for logging to sqlite databases, make sure the 'cdr.db' file exists in the log directory,
+; which is usually /var/log/asterisk. Of course, the proper libraries should be available
+; during the 'configure' operation.
+;
+; for tds logging, make sure the proper libraries are available during the 'configure' 
+; phase, and that cdr_tds.conf exists and is properly set up with a [global] category.
+;
+; Also, remember, that if you wish to log CDR info to a database, you will have to define
+; a specific table in that databse to make things work! See the doc directory for more details
+; on how to create this table in each database.
