Bounty: Create Generic Support for SUBSCRIBE Event Packages
From: John Dupuy <jdupuy AT socket.net>
Bounty: 100 USD

Description:
I am offereing a $100 USD bounty to add generic support for SUBSCRIBE Event Packages that would pass either the XML body or
the actual SIP packet to an external program. I would prefer the entire packet as the header often contains useful information.
Specifically, add an optional line in features.conf (or another file) that allows for the external reference in the form of:
extern-event-handler = event-type,script
For example:
extern-event-handler = conference,/var/lib/asterisk/eventcode/myhandler.pl
I am requesting both a public patch for Asterisk 1.4 as well as a submisssion to the 1.6 development tree.

Please note: do not limit the event-types to this list, there are proprietary ones I want to support as well.
The resulting code would be donated to Asterisk under its license.
While $100 is not very much, please consider also the benefit to the community at large.
