If anybody's looking for a project, I know that chan_zap.c has a lot of fields
that could be converted over to using int variable_name:1 style flags.  I've
thought a few times about doing it, but just haven't had time to yet.  It also
might be a little less of a moving target than chan_sip.c to work on.
