Alternatively, support in voicemail.conf for a newvoicemail event command and a nonewvoicemail event command would be very helpful.

Just have a look at the sample.call file that comes with asterisk.
You'll only have to fill out the right telephone numbers and maybe have it
connect to some dummy extension that just waits a second before hanging up
(if your PBX needs more than just a ring).
Then put a copy of that file in /var/spool/asterisk/outgoing and * will
immediately place the call you described in that file.

If you feel the urge to spend money, just contact me off-list ;-)
