However, we would also like to apply this patch to the 1.8 branch, to assist us in better supporting and testing the Asterisk branches currently being maintained.  Our concern with applying this to 1.8 is that the TestEvent will alter existing applications.  We've taken steps to prevent this from having any impact by only enabling the TestEvent if the TEST_FRAMEWORK compiler flag (which can only be enabled in dev-mode) is turned on.  By default, all statements related to the TestEvent are macro'd out if the TEST_FRAMEWORK compiler flag does not exist.

Given that it's compiled out unless TEST_FRAMEWORK is enabled, which
should be 0% of production systems, a big +1 from me.
