[Users] #DEFINE equivalent?

[Bogdan-Andrei Iancu]

Hi Kanakatti,

I'm for m4'ing  (for the moment) for two reasons:
    1) since we can do it with m4, I prefer to use the cycles for 
something still missing;
    2) using dynamic parameters (like via AVPs) reduce the performance - 
time to look for the AVP and most critical the impossibility of calling 
fixup functions at startup (which will force to fix params at runtime, 
for each processing).

regarding the record_route_preset() - do you use dynamic parameters or 
dynamic rr URI?

regards,
bogdan
