flash operator needs some love

[Diego Iastrubni]

Hi,

I have been looking into op-panel, and IMHO it needs some work to be done on, 
as the package is not perfectly functional. I have started working, and I 
have a semi-working patch (some parts of it you will now like, but I am doing 
them to ease my work...). The modifications are:

1) the service runs as root today. this is a big "nono". the patch creates a 
new user (op-panel) with a home directory (/var/lib/op-panel).
2) the dhtml panel was not working, since variables.txt was not available to 
it. now the variables.txt is saved in $HOME and linked to the both panels 
(flash+dhtml)
3) new links are been made in /var/www:
	panel -> /usr/share/op-panel/flash
	dpanel -> /usr/share/op-panel/dhtml
4) i am working on another set of alternative configuration called rapid, 
which contains auto-detection of extensions. still not working but it will be 
available "soon"
5) a manager configuration in /etc/asterisk/manager.d/ which will enable the 
server to be used out of the box.
6) many cleanups to the various files, which IMHO make it easier to read

The patch I am working on can be attached on the next mail if you ask, about 
9kb compressed with bz2, or sent directly anyone who asks. It's ugly and 
contains some hacks (like not building the swf files as the original pkg-voip 
rules does).  All those hacks will be removed work on the final upload.
