Here it is. The code just compiles correctly, but I am still trying to 
set up an actual test. Some points I know will need work:
- Reloading is set up to fail, since I did not (yet) check what should 
happen in order to make the module update the configuration without 
unloading and reloading itself.
- By comparing cdr_addon_mysql from asterisk-addons 1.4.9 and 1.6.2.0, I 
see that many (but not all) static pointers to character strings have 
been replaced with struct ast_str * . What is the difference between 
using this struct type and using a plain char * ?
