Summary: 'bye2bye' UA module prototype

Initial Comment:
Hi,

Attached are two patches implementing a prototype 'bye2bye' UA module that cheaply fakes end-to-end BYE requests -- it's a watchdog that enforces metered call duration. One of the patches augments the existing dialog module so that it caches to/from contact and CSeq values; the other implements the new module.

I'm soliciting feedback, in particular:

Q1 - is there enough general interest in this functionality to warrant further development?

Q2 - is there some additional functionality that makes sense?

Q3 - would it be better implemented as an integrated extention to the existing dialog module?

Use of the module is very straightforward:

- Define the module flag parameter that will enable the watchdog on a per-dialog basis. This is used in conjunction with the dialog module flag defined by 'dlg_flag.'

- Optionally define the module parameters 'bye2bye_headers,' 'bye2bye_to_next_hop,' and 'bye2bye_from_next_hop.'

- set the value of the dialog 'timeout_avp' as required for each dialog that will be monitored.
