[Asterisk-Dev] VoiceXML Connectivity for Asterisk

So I made a copy of manager.c and copied it to apps/app_mymanager.c
Then added the app required interface & in the load_module just called the
init_manager , to start the perment thread to listen on another port
and we have plugable manager interfaces ......

Now this is kinda interesting if it gets called from the dial plan
i just needs to diddle the myManger_exec interface & its an app
oh no wait it was a tcp connection from the perment thread on the
load_module its a plug able manager :)
--prolly gonna be some interesting threading issues here but
  wiith a little thinking here i am sure it can support dual the interfaces
I am App
No wait I am socket Manager
