Lee, everyone--

Sorry about that. I've created a patches subdir in the AEL2-1.2
repository, and put that patch down in there. So, now, you do:

svn co http://svn.digium.com/svn/asterisk/team/murf/AEL2-1.2/patches

and then

patch -p0 < patches/diffs.AEL2.patch

Assuming that you are in a 1.2 source directory...

Hopefully this sequence will work better. I've updated the voip-info
wiki.

Again, you 1.2 users: It is not absolutely necessary to update your 1.2
installation to use AEL with 1.2; you can build a 1.4 somewhere, and use
the AEL in 1.4 to compile your extensions.ael into an extensions.conf
file via

aelparse -d -w

This will generate the file 'extensions.conf.aeldump', which you can
inspect and then copy into your appropriate /etc/asterisk directory on
the machine where your 1.2 installation resides.

The main thing to watch out for in this scenario, is that AEL uses a
slightly enhanced version of the $[] parser to do its thing. If you
don't use the new features, you should be quite OK.
