[arm-allstar] USB FOB Mods

[David McGough]

Hi Greg,

I guess we're letting the "cat out of the bag." ....But, yes, the new 
telemetry I/O system is external to Asterisk. The actual I/O handler can 
be written in the language of choice. So far, I've got handlers written 
in 'C', another written in python and even some testing code written in 
php!

The only requirement for the external I/O handler is that it must fully 
support SysV message queues (see: 
http://beej.us/guide/bgipc/output/html/multipage/mq.html )...

Note that SysV messaging is distinct from POSIX messaging and subtly
different, but seems to be better supported and slightly more
sophisticated. Performance is lightning fast, operation is simple and 
unit-testable.
