[FYI] new HTTP SMSC 'generic' system-type

Hi lists,

I have commited today a patchset to CVS introducing a new system-type 'generic' 
to smsc = http connection type.

The 'send-url' HTTP URI can used the same escape codes as sms-service's 
'get-url' to pupulate the values from the msg struct passed from smsbox to 
bearerbox for MT submission.

A sample group looks like this:

   group = smsc
   smsc = http
   system-type = generic
   port = 13015
   send-url = "http://<foobar>/<uri>?from=%P&to=%p&text=%b"
   status-success-regex = "ok"
   status-permfail-regex = "failure"
   status-tempfail-regex = "retry later"

where you see that the URL is poulated with values directly from the message 
struct and not within the gw/smsc/smsc_http.c module itself. This approach makes 
the calling of various HTTP APIs more flexible and doesn't require adding a new 
code fragment to the module.

The result interpretation is done via 3 regex expressions matching against the 
HTTP response body to indicate the status of the message submission, either 
success, permanent failure or temporary failure. Which results in appropriate 
logging and handling of retry queues.
