[Asterisk-Dev] Adding a dial option to update the DB on bridge

[Steve Rodgers]

Note to self: It turns out the manager interface will tell you when a call is 
picked up and what extension was picked up. All that needs to be done is to 
patch manager.c to support DBGet and DBput so that the caller info can be 
saved in a namespace outside of the channel variables. A patch has been
submitted to bugs.digium.com for approval.
