[asterisk-dev] Application/Function configuration parsing

[Nir Simionovich]

Hi Russell,

  I've started documenting what I'm gathering from the configuration parser
in chan_sip.c, and i've loaded it into my blog at
http://www.simionovich.com/?page_id=127

  I'd appreciate it if you can take a look at it, and see if I have a
mistake somewhere.

Cheers,
  Nir S
