[asterisk-ss7] AutoPC patch for chan_ss7 0.9.

[Anton]

Hi Jacub!

Thanks for the patch! It's usefull!

I've a littile question, will the patch work with different 
opc's? on different linksets? I mean If I'm connected with 
2x telcos and for both of them I should have different opc? 
If no, seems you understand chan_ss7 internals quite good, 
maybe you will not find it very difficult to add such a 
functionality?

Regards,
Anton.
