Hey Klaus,

the difference is in the AVP/PV syntax e.g. in $ and $(..):

For the $(..), in ser mode it parses to an AVP, in all other modes it parses 
to a PV.

For the $, in ser mode it parses to an AVP, in kamailio mode it parses to a 
PV, in all other modes mode it parses to an AVP or PV, depending on the 
variable type.

What about this:

Remove all modes but the one for ser. Then people which use ser style scripts 
are still able to use them and don't need to change anything. All others can 
forget about the defines and we would also have only one default cfg style in 
this regards, which would be nice, IMHO.

Cheers,

Henning
