Or simpler
...
   pass-param = 0x1402:2,myparam1
   pass-param = 0x1404:4,myparam2

   http://x/foo.php?to=%t&from=%f&${myparam1}&${myparam2}

and let kannel expand ${myparam1} (or something similar that can be
dynamically searched and replaced) to
   myparameter=value
because the value can be associated by the "pass-param" declaration.

Another thing to mention: if you specify "pass-param" multiple times in one
group this will not work, you will have to add all the options (and not to
forget the type) to a list like
   pass-param = "0x1402:2,int,myparam1;0x1404:4,octstr,myparam2"

Note that the tag (i.e. 0x1402) is not an "offset", it is only a number
acting as a key.
Not all optional tags have a fixed length. So you will have to deal also
with ranges. The syntax of the configuration (and the checking and
converting methods) will have to support this - therefore require some
additional thought...
