Description:APP_AGI will only use the first argument passed to it as an argument to the command being executed.  This patch modifies that so it will accept up to MAX_ARGS in arguments, and removes the 'ringy' feature.  If that feture is needed, could easily check for it in last argument provided.

Actually, all applications in Asterisk accept only one argument.  If you need to pass more than one argument, compound your arguments together with an ampersand, then separate them back out in your application.  Or, set your arguments to variables and query the value of those variables inside your AGI script.

Making an exception for AGI is just that - an exception - which is an inconsistent interface and should probably be avoided.

it is not chaning how the argument string is passed to app_agi, it is changing how app_agi execs the external AGI script.  res_musiconhold is the only other place I know if in * where an external program is executed (other than system which isn't really relevant), and it passes multiple arguments there.  If this is not how AGI is supposed to work, the help needs to be change from:

 [E]AGI(command|args):

to

 [E]AGI(command|arg):

Crap, sorry about that... didn't realize I hadn't done a diff on that file only.  Attached is corrected diff.
