Sounds like a cool feature. I started looking into it, checking out 
voicemail.conf (1.2) to get an idea of a good name to call the parameter 
and I found this:

; If you need to have an external program, i.e. /usr/bin/myapp called when
; a voicemail password is changed, uncomment this:
externpass=/usr/bin/myapp

Who knew?

Thanks in advance,
