What exactly do you want to do?
You can use capicommand(deflect|xxxx) in extensions.conf to use call 
deflection.

If you can retrieve this information from extensions.conf, then you can use 
my example above.

Anyway, I noticed that the original implementation of deflect specified in
capi.conf does not work in all cases.
I plan to remove that and to allow capicommand(deflect|...) only.
It's not necessary to do that in capi.conf and using different MSNs is 
difficult too.
My idea is provide information about 'this is a call-waiting call, no 
b-channel' to extensions.conf via a variable. And the user then can decide
what to do with that call using all features of the dialplan.
I plan to do this for version 0.6.1.
