Yeah, to be honest, I've been saving such major changes to config files 
and such for whenever I can start working on a new version of chan_zap 
that would replace it (or supersede it) for some configurations.  There 
is a lot of reorganizational work that should be done, and personally I 
think we need to break the CCS signalling protocols (ISDN/SS7) out into 
another channel driver.  There are things more important than the 
config file format that I would like to see change in chan_zap.
