[asterisk-dev] MYSQL_LOGUNIQUEID conditional

I believe there are also those who feel that it is the job of the
database to assign a unique number to each call.  I'm not here to
judge that and I don't remember where I read that but that could also
be part of the reason.  Adding the uniqueid flag gets automatic after
a while. :-)
