The API changes that we have identified as 'required to support T.38
gateway implementation' (based on our planned design) are now merged and
part of the 1.8 branch. Anyone who is interested in transforming the
current gateway patches that live on the issue tracker into the new
design, please get in touch with Russell Bryant, as he's going to try to
coordinate efforts in this area. I suspect it won't actually be a great
deal of work to build it as we've designed. If that is the case, there
is a small chance it could be added in a future 1.8.x release (since it
will only affect res_fax and res_fax_spandsp), but if not, it would be
very easy to distribute as a patch set for 1.8.
