The bulk of the logic/code in the module is MySQL related, with very
minimal Asterisk API calls.  The primary reason I have not updated the
app to compile for 1.6 is that the scheduling features (and a few
enhancements) have been merged into app_meetme.  

Is there a problem with using the scheduling features in app_meetme?
What is driving the desire to continue to use app_cbmysql?
