  Agreed. There should be ONE to do it, it should be SIMPLE and
  as RELIABLE as possible, without interfereing (bad spelling?) with
  asterisk's operations: the proxy into AMI looks like the way to
  acheive the required funcionality... After all, that's exactly the
  purpose of AMI !

  Let's keep the codebase as small as possible, let's make asterisk
  as solid and reliable as possible. Let's not reinvent wheels!
