This was the reason I wrote the SetVar patch for the manager interface.
You can set a variable name, and also cause that (the setvar) to be sent
as a manager event to all other manager's...

ie, you don't support it on the phone, but as a screen pop when the call
comes in.

I think perhaps the entire patch wasn't included...
here is the extra portion which I last applied to my CVS Stable version:

        return 0;

Obviously, this adds the ability to have your setvar command be sent as
an event to the other manager's....

Adam
