The patch has nothing to do with letting a phone auto-answer a call. It makes 
it possible for Asterisk to answer the call _only_ when queue entry is 
successful.

For me, I don't want the call answered unless I'm sure it will enter the 
queue, ie there are agents logged in, queue isn't full. The patch makes that 
possible as the queue will answer the call.
