Like Lacy wrote earlier, there is a patch in Mantis:

That provides this feature.  The author has a include
support in a number of channels.  I can confirm that
it works with chan_skinny.  My tests with chan_sip
have not meet with success, but that is likely due to
old Cisco firmware, or a configuration issue on my part.
