lcr module was not designed to minimize monetary cost nor for sip
trunking between carriers.  its design goal was much more modest: allow
an operator who offers voip service to choose among its own gateways on
geographical (country code/area code) basis when a call needs to be
routed to the pstn.

in order to minimize monetary cost, a module would need to know about
the actual figures, times of day, days of week, full numbers, etc.  i do
not want to complicate lcr module with that kind of stuff.  fortunately
is it easy to introduce new modules in openser and choose what to use
when openser starts.
