Thanks for writing this Jeremy! This should solve a reload problem I am having 
with a couple of boxes, although I tend to be moving more to a DB 
implementation so I don't need to reload scripts, but thats another 
discussion :)

Since I believe you are planning on disclaiming the code, could we get this in 
svncommunity?

Kristian mentioned about wanting some prompts to be played when something 
happened (reload successful or not, channel blocking, etc...). I think the 
best thing to do would be to have channel variables set that could be parsed 
to play the prompts as opposed to app_reload being responsible for this. That 
way you have the power of the dialplan to parse on the return value, and 
could utilize the dialplan to play back prompts in different languages, 
etc... if that was the users intention.

I figure there is no need to make app_reload more complicated than it needs to 
be.
