[Asterisk-Dev] unique cdr id per call

[James Golovich]

I have already done this on some code I am working on.  I believe the
unique id I generated contained the time in seconds, channel number, and
an incrementing number.

This was all bundled into some new functionality I was working on for CDRs
so it would log every event. Unfortunately some of the code has changed so
I need to update my patch and ship it over to mark
